5. On the ATX, just remove the two bolts that hold the automatic timing belt tensioner in place, and swing the pulley out to relieve tension and get it out of the way. As long as you don't loosen the eccentric nut on the tensioner pulley, you can install a new (or used) timing belt without resetting the tension on the pulley. Just compress the piston in the tensioner as per the Helms.
ok...how screwed am I if I already loosened the nut on the tensioner pulley? I removed that pulley when removing the tensioner, call it ignorance if you like. Anyway, what do I do now? I have searched the forums but the links it keeps referring me to don't seem to exist anymore. Help on this matter would be much appreciated. I've read that you can correct my mistake without any special tools but I can't seem to find out how. Someone help me out.
Thanks...
