AM-EN-48953 Cam Phaser Retainer - Camshaft Actuator Locking Tool for Ecotec/2010 Buick Lacrosse, 2010 Chevy Equinox, 2010 GMC Terrain fit with 2.0L, 2.4L ECOTEC Engines.

This tool fit just like oem. Note: when installing timing chains and phasers on the 2.4 ecotec engine, this tool is used in order to aid installation and prevent too much torque to be put on the chain while torquing to yield at 22lb ft + 100 degrees. In other words you should still use a 24 mm wrench on the camshaft hex to hold it in place while tightening. I worked on these at the dealership level for decades and even the oem tool will get damaged if you just rely on the pegs to hold the sprocket while you tighten. Use common sense and you will be alright.

Worked great

Didn't fit the motor it said it did.Didn't help me at all.

good value had to buy several now engineering is week on design i keep bending the tabs that engauge the phazers but i do that on the far more expensive name brand ounes as well its a design flaw in the tool it should be re engineered

low cost peace of mind

Works as described

First time I used it, and the exhaust side tab broke right off. Should have known. It does feel like a thin cast aluminum, rather than a quality steel product.

3 stars cause couldn't find tool for right year. Same engine but different timing systemShort cutted the cam gear. Put his tool in didn't line up. Did the job the long way to evioed potential damage. When tightening the cam bolt realized took still said I was a tooth off very frustrated but couldn't find the tool for the 2012 and up ( I believe that year) exhaust cam dowl is different position. Cars running good now but no help with this tool Probably would work for 2010 but didn't use

For replacement of cam phaser, the hole don't fit to enguage and retaine the phaser.
