ABSTRACT:
A belt installation and removal tool is provided for installing and removing a belt on a pulley and includes a handle assembly which includes a hand-grip portion, an extension portion connected to the hand-grip portion, and a finger-containing portion connected to the extension portion. A first finger and a second finger are connected to the finger-containing portion of the handle assembly. A spacer element is connected to the finger-containing portion of the handle assembly and is located between the first finger and the second finger. The spacer element projects a spacer distance out from the finger-containing portion so that the fingers extend completely past the belt. The finger-containing portion includes a reception area for receiving a third finger. The third finger includes a knurled portion which facilitates gripping of the third finger. More specifically, the finger-containing portion of the handle assembly can include a plurality of reception areas arrayed at intervals longitudinally along the finger-containing portion. Each of the reception areas includes internal threads. The third finger includes complementary external threads for screwing into the internal threads of the reception areas. The hand-grip portion includes a hollow chamber for storing the third finger. The hand-grip portion includes a screw cap for capping the hollow chamber.
