Why you need this E-cowlboy EN-48953 Cam Phaser Retainer
1. The camshafts on the ECOTEC engines must be held when removing or installing the cam phaser bolts, or the timing chain may
slip and not keep its relationship to the phasers.
2. Current service methods use an open end wrench to hold the cam, and can be very awkward, especially for in-vehicle service.
3. EN-48953 mounts to the front of the block and its tabs engage both cam phasers to hold them so the phaser bolts may be serviced.
4. A pass-through hole on each side allows a socket to be used to remove or install the phaser bolt.
5. Applicable to a series of models.
6. Easy to operate.

El producto no queda en versiones anteriores a la 2010, o al menos no quedo en un Ecotec 2.4 del 2009 de un Malibu.

The product was supposed to hold the cam gears in place so that you could change change the cam gears, but did not fit, it was too small, wasted my time and money

I took it out of the box and the bolts were too large for the holes in the head.I used different bolts to hold it in place. I started torquing the bolts and one of the tabs broke off that was holding the cam phaser in place.Complete Junk!

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.

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
