The Lisle 59560 removes guesswork by providing two tab lengths for different pulley locations—one for A\/C pulleys on 2014-plus models and a shorter tab for main drive pulleys on 2019-plus models. Built from heat-treated steel with a black oxide finish, it resists wear and maintains the geometry needed to seat modern stretch belts without bending or slipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this tool make installing stretch belts on GM engines easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lisle 59560 gives you a dedicated edge to stretch and hold the belt over the pulley while you align other components, removing the need for improvised prying tools that can damage the belt or pulley. Its dual-tab design adapts to the common pulley positions on specified GM engine years so you don't need multiple specialty tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-sided design covers both A\/C and main drive pulley locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong tab fits A\/C belt routing on 2014 and newer GM trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort tab suited for main drive belts on 2019 and newer GM vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid hold reduces slippage while seating stretch-type belts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat engines and vehicle years is the Lisle 59560 compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is engineered for GM V8 gas engines including the 5.3L, 6.2L, and 6.6L families where stretch-type serpentine belts are used.

Because it targets stretch-type serpentine belts on specified GM engines, it’s especially useful when paired with tensioner tools and pulley holding devices during full front-end service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to work with common tensioner and pulley tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces the need to improvise with screwdrivers or pry bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlim profile fits tight engine bays where leverage space is limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: The Lisle 59560 Stretch Belt Tool is aimed at professional mechanics, independent shops, and DIY technicians who service late-model GM trucks and SUVs with 5.3L, 6.2L, or 6.6L gas engines. If you regularly replace or route stretch-type serpentine belts on 2014 and newer GM A\/C pulleys or 2019 and newer main drive pulleys, this compact, dual-tab tool streamlines installation and protects belt materials during seating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can the Lisle 59560 be used on other GM engines?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It’s designed for GM 5.3L, 6.2L, and 6.6L gas engines; other engines may fit but compatibility isn’t guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the tool durable for repeated shop use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—the heat-treated steel construction and black oxide finish provide durability for regular professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Lisle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087090561182,"sku":"B0CQ2YRPHB","price":30.86,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/lisle-stretch-belt-tool-front.jpg?v=1785916292","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/lisle-59560-stretch-belt-tool-for-gm","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
