Laser Tools has introduced a Torque multiplier and special adaptor kit designed especially for use on the 1.0-litre Ford Ecoboost engine.


If there is a need to replace the pulley on the engine of change the timing belt or front main seal it is necessary to remove the very tight pulley securing bolt. A torque multiplier is needed for this, to both undo, and then upon reassembly, retighten the bolt. The new addition from Laser (part number 7318) makes this job more straightforward job. Once the engine flywheel has been locked (locking tool in Laser timing tool kit 6952) the right-hand driveshaft bracket is removed and the main bracket and fittings from the adaptor kit (part number 7317) are bolted onto the engine. The torque multiplier is then fitted and turned with a 1/2" drive bar or ratchet. The nine-to-one ratio of the torque multiplier makes removing the extremely tight securing bolt an easy task.

The same set-up is used when refitting and tightening. The tightening sequence includes the use of a torque wrench, then the torque multiplier. Full instructions are supplied with the 7317 adaptor kit.

The 7318 torque multiplier has a 1/2" drive input and 3/4" drive output; the maximum output torque figure is 1500Nm. It is geared at 9:1 with a torque ratio of 1:6.5. The 7317 is suitable for the 1.0 litre Ecoboost with following engine codes: M1JA, M1JE, M1JH, SFJA, SFJB, SFJC, SFJD, M1DA, M2DA, M1DD, M2DC, M1JC, M1JJ, P4JA, P4JB, P4JC, P4JD, XMJA, XMJB, XMJC, XMJD, YYJA, YYJB, M2DB, SFDB, M2GA, M2GB, M1CA, M1CB, SFCA, SFCB, SFCC and SFCD. Equivalent to the Ford OEM tools 303-1611-01 and 303-1611-02.

These multiplier and adaptor kit are now available from Laser stockists.
