A 14mm wrench as a power steering pump tensioner. You have to give the guy credit on that one.

That's friggin fantastic...

And I thought my 944 purchase was unique with the use of a COATHANGER to tension the alternator/ac belt! It actually worked when the car was warm too!

My PO duct taped the alt/ac adjusting bar on mine when it broke it two.

He probably tried JB Weld first.

I wonder if the belt squealed? Or perhaps the 14mm wrench was just the perfect length.
That's pretty crazy.

Amazing, yeah you have to wonder..... did he try different size 14mm wrenches to get the one that fit perfectcally....?

What was he using for the alt belt??? a pipe wrench?

Is there a 14mm bolt on the 944? I think everything is 10, 13, then 15 and up. The 14 mm wrench is nearly useless except as a tensioner.
