Review: Nice tool - Nice tool works on 2016 Subaru for aure
Review: Tricky to line up pegs and tighten, but works well and makes a two-person job into a one-person job - Adjusted the gap on an A/C clutch of a 2016 Forester and the tool was very thoughtfully designed. There are two sides, the side with the bright brass thumbscrews with small black pegs and the other side with thick black pegs. I ended up needing the thinner side, I found that it was slightly difficulty to line up and tighten the brass screws because they sat between the compressor and the body of the tool, so I would tighten it up most of the way so it retained its position, then took it off to tighten it so I could do the work. I think some of the other reviews talking about socket extensions and narrow spaces are a bit dramatic, because you really only need this tool to hold the clutch still while using a socket wrench to loosen the bolt just enough to undo the rest by hand, which you'll probably get to within a fraction of turn. There is a hole through the center that a socket easily fits through. However, because of the thick black pegs on the opposite side, you will need a socket extension of the right length, particularly if your radiator might be in the way if it's too long. The quality of the parts feel good. The non-slip handle is definitely appreciated. There is no excess oil or grease from production remaining on the tool.
