EWK Cam Timing Belt Tensioner Removal Tool for Mitsubishi & Hyundai — 1/4" Drive Compact Pulley Wrench

EWK Cam Timing Belt Tensioner Removal Tool is a dedicated tensioner pulley wrench built to simplify setting and locking timing-belt tension on various Mitsubishi, Hyundai, and Proton engines.

If you service or repair timing belts, this specialty tool helps you pre-load, hold, and lock the eccentric tensioner pulley so you can accurately set belt tension and torque the mounting fastener without guesswork. The wrench uses a pair of fitted cylinders to capture the pulley, a 1/4" drive bolt for torque control, and a compact profile engineered to work where access is tight in many Japanese and Korean engine bays.

How does this tool reduce time when replacing a timing belt?

Instead of manually holding the tensioner or using improvised fixtures, the EWK tool rotates the tensioner to the pre-tensioned position and locks it there. That removes the need for a second technician and prevents the tensioner from slipping while you fit or torque components.

• Pre-tensions the belt by rotating the eccentric tensioner smoothly
• Holds the pulley steady so you can install the belt single-handed
• Enables accurate torqueing via the integrated 1/4" drive bolt

Which vehicles and tensioners is this wrench compatible with?

The tool is made for tensioner pulleys used on many Mitsubishi injection engines and select Hyundai and Proton models. It matches the MD998767 tensioner profile and can be used alongside MD998738 where service manuals indicate compatibility.

• Mitsubishi: Lancer, Colt, Galant, Space Wagon, Space Runner, Sigma, 3000GT and similar models
• Hyundai: Lantra and Sonata models from the early/mid-1990s era
• Proton: selected engines from the late 1990s to early 2000s — check application chart

What features make this tensioner tool easy to operate?

The design focuses on simple, reliable engagement and adjustable torque control. Two precision cylinders locate the pulley and a 1/4" drive interface lets you set or maintain the correct torque using common hand tools.

• Dual cylinder system secures the pulley without damaging the face
• 1/4" drive bolt accepts standard ratchets or torque tools for repeatable results
• Compact footprint fits into confined engine compartments

How durable is the tool and what warranty does it include?

EWK constructs the wrench for workshop use with materials and finishes intended to resist wear from repeated service cycles. Purchases include an extended 12+6 month warranty period to protect against manufacturing defects.

• Workshop-grade construction for routine garage and professional use
• Backed by a combined 18-month warranty offering added confidence
