problems replacing timing belt tensioner

[marc_scirocco@sympatico.ca (Marc Scirocco Quebec)]

There is a special tool available to tighten it, but I just use a steel
punch. Get it in one of the holes, turn clockwise untill the belt is tight
enough, and set it right there with your 15mm wrench.

Cheers.

Objet : problems replacing timing belt tensioner


Hey all,
I just got the tensioner off my '83 8v, only to find that it does not match
the new one I have waiting.  The old one has a big nut on it so you can
tighten it, the new one just has two little holes where the nut should be.
Do you need a special tool to tension the new ones or something!?  Looking
at pics from adirondack and gprparts.com the all have the two hole design.
What do I do?  Please help I need to get back on the road!  Thanks in
advance-
Rob
