Strangely enough there is no one definitive tutorial on the 9201 timing belt tool. I just bought one but want to ensure i use it perfectly. What do all the buttons do. Whats the double dial for. How to calibrate it. How to use it for every belt.

If anyone knows a video tutorial or wants to make one or write one... id be thankful

I'll try to do a simple video this week... In the meantime, study the pictures in the factory manual -- placement on the belts is key to an accurate reading...
