Litens Aftermarket N.A. introduced its new "Easy Button" latch combined with its TAP (Technician Assist Pin) technology, which it said is an improvement to OE tensioner design that enables a safer and more efficient tensioner replacement process that can be done by a single technician.

The company said the Easy Button latch simplifies the process of replacing the tensioner by making it a one-person job by assisting during the most difficult part of the process: routing the belt with the tensioner in the fully retracted position.
