TIMING BELT TENSIONER
CAUTION: Compress the tensioner slowly, as damage to tensioner could result.
11. When tensioner is removed from the engine it is necessary to compress the plunger into the tensioner body.
CAUTION: Index the tensioner in the vise the same way it is installed on the engine. This ensures proper pin orientation when tensioner is installed on
the engine.

b. When plunger is compressed into the tensioner body install a pin through the body and plunger to retain plunger in place until tensioner is
installed.
