Stretch Belt Tool for A/C Belt
Hey Gang
I am doing my vbelt repair as well as my pulleys. Got my new vbelt on but damned if I can get the A/C stretch belt on. I have bought 2 tools for this task so far and neither have worked. One tools was a generic universal tool, the other I thought was the correct tool from BMW but it wasnt. I Really hate to take it to the shop and have them do it at a cost of $130+ when If I had the right tool I can do it myself. I have looked all around for DIY for this issue have only found resolutions for the 8 cylinder and not the 6? Does anyone have a tool I can buy from you, use and then return. Obviously for a small fee for your trouble? Or does anyone have a DIY idea?

I thought only the N63 & S63 used a separate stretch belt for the A/C and everything else had one belt that ran everything. (I have replaced it several times on the N63, you just take of main belt, remove 4 main pulley hub bolts and rotate the engine until the main pulley slides over, remote and replace A/C belt and rotate engine back until it snaps in place and replace bolts, main belt).

There’s no indication of any stretch belt on the 3.0. Just the usual tensioner. |
