This is a great advancement in tool design that saves a bundle of time when swapping pulleys on a MINI Cooper S. This simple tool allows you to KEEP the belt tensioner bolted to the engine and still get the pulley off. For those who have done a pulley swap, you will know that those few bolts on the tensioner are among the hardest of the bunch to get to, remove and install. Leaving the tensioner on easily saves 15-30 minutes of hassle. Not only does it offer that, it also has a built in pulley extractor so you don't need a secondary tool to driver the pulley off the shaft. And it is a total hassle to get that rear bolt in if you have hands bigger than a 5 year old.
