The Subaru flat four engines listed below have 4 camshafts (2 per side) and replacing timing belts can be challenging when working alone. The 7685 has been designed to hold the camshaft pulleys via the fixing bolts while removing and fitting the timing belt.
- Prevents Camshaft sprockets from spinning when the timing belt is removed, helps eliminate potential valve damage.
- Suitable for 2.0L and 2.5L DOHC Turbo Engines (Engine codes: EJ205, EJ207, EJ255, EJ257).
- Subaru applications: Impreza WRX, WRX (from 2002), Forester XT (2004 - 2011), Legacy GT, Outback XT (2005 - 2010), Baja (2004 - 2006).
- Saab applications: 9-2X Aero.
