To remove the tensioner, you will have to remove the belt as well as unbolt the motor from the motor mounts and lift the engine. Be cautious to block up the engine before removing the mounts. The wheel well side cover and timing cover will also need to be removed. At this point you will have access to remove the tensioner.

next to the timing chain you will find it in the cover on front of engine where the water pump is mounted they call it the timing chain cover you will have to remove this cover to get at it
To reset the timing chain tensioner on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, first, ensure the engine is cool and the battery is disconnected. Remove the timing chain cover to access the tensioner. Compress the tensioner using a suitable tool, then secure it in the compressed position with a pin or similar device. Reinstall the timing chain cover and reconnect the battery before starting the engine to check for proper operation.
After you have released the tension from the belt, remove the 2 obvious bolts that hold it to the engine block.
To change the timing belt on a 2.3L Isuzu engine, first disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the timing belt cover. Then, remove the cover and align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft gears. Next, loosen the tensioner and remove the old timing belt, replacing it with the new belt while ensuring proper alignment of the timing marks. Finally, reassemble the components, adjust the tensioner, and reconnect the battery.
To change the timing chain tensioner on a 2005 Toyota Matrix, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the engine cover and any components obstructing access to the timing chain area. Then, remove the old tensioner by unscrewing it from its mounting and replace it with the new one, ensuring it's properly aligned. Reassemble all components, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to check for proper operation.
To change the timing belt on a 1991 Dodge Spirit, first disconnect the battery and remove the engine covers to access the timing belt. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft, then remove the old belt by loosening the tensioner and taking off the belt. Install the new timing belt, ensuring it’s properly aligned with the timing marks, and reassemble by tightening the tensioner. Finally, reattach the engine covers and reconnect the battery before starting the engine to check for proper operation.
You must first access the timing belt by removing the drive belts and timing cover. Then put the motor on TDC, lock the cams down, remove the tensioner and then the t-belt. Re-install the new belt, new tensioner, remove the locking pin for the tensioner, unlock the cams, and rotated the engine to ensure everything stays lined up.
To remove the timing chain tensioner on an Infiniti I30, first, ensure you disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the tensioner, such as the engine cover or intake manifold. Next, locate the timing chain tensioner, unbolt it using the appropriate socket size, and carefully pull it out. Be cautious of any oil that may leak from the tensioner during removal, and make sure to inspect the area for any debris before installing the new tensioner. Always refer to a service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
To reset the engine timing belt on a 5L Toyota Hilux, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Remove any components obstructing access to the timing belt cover, then carefully mark the position of the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Loosen the tensioner and remove the old timing belt, then install the new belt, ensuring it aligns with the timing marks on the pulleys. Finally, recheck the alignment, adjust the tensioner, and reassemble any removed components.

Refer to the procedure in this section. # Remove the three nuts and the engine support insulator through bolt from the engine support insulator. Remove the front engine support bracket (6028). # Raise and support the vehicle. # Align the crankshaft sprocket (6306) to TDC by turning the crankshaft (6303) in the direction of normal engine (6007) rotation. # NOTE: Remove the lower timing chain tensioner arm bolt before the upper timing chain tensioner arm bolt. Remove two bolts from the timing chain tensioner arm (6285) in the order shown. Remove the timing chain tensioner arm. # Mark the direction of rotation on the timing chain/belt (6268) to be sure of proper installation. # Loosen the timing chain/belt tensioner bolt. # Remove the timing chain/belt. Installation # Compress the timing chain tensioner arm until the hole in the piston is aligned with the second hole in the case. Insert a 1.6mm (0.06 inch) diameter wire or pin through the second hole to keep the piston compressed. # Align the camshafts (6250) to top dead center (TDC). # Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the crankshaft sprocket is offset from TDC by one tooth. # Install the timing chain/belt.Turn the crankshaft in the direction of normal engine rotation without moving the camshafts, until the crankshaft timing mark is again at TDC. This will place all of the belt slack in the timing chain tensioner arm portion of the timing chain/belt. # Install the timing chain tensioner arm and both bolts. Tighten the timing chain tensioner arm bolts to 19-25 Nm (14-18 lb-ft). # Remove the pin from the timing chain tensioner arm. # NOTE: When correctly timed, the crankshaft timing mark will line up and will NOT be one tooth off. Turn the crankshaft two complete revolutions, in the direction of normal engine rotation, to make sure that the timing is still correct. # Tighten the timing chain/belt tensioner bolt to 35-51 Nm (26-37 lb-ft). # Install the RH engine support insulator. Tighten the three nuts to 74-103 Nm (54-76 lb-ft) and the RH engine support insulator through bolt to 67-93 Nm (50-68 lb-ft). # Install the Engine Front Covers . |}
