I am in the process of replaing the t-belt on my 00 ranger w/2.5 and I need the tool specifed in the haynes manual for holding the timing belt tensioner spring in order to remover/replace the tensioner itself. If someone can let me know where I can find this, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

 

Usually, your local parts stores (Autozone and such) have tools you can use. Check with one of them.

 

Haynes manuel does not give a picture of how the tool looks. Any help? Pictures? Thx.
