NOTE: If oil was not first purged from the ten-
sioner, use slight finger pressure to assist the cen-
ter arm pin of Special Tool 8186 to unseat the
tensioner’s check ball.
CAUTION: Ensure the tensioner is properly reset.
The tensioner body must bottom against the top
edge of Special Tool 8186. Failure to properly per-
form the resetting procedure may cause tensioner
jamming.
