Hey all,
I'm doing a t-belt as we speak. I got the Schlay tool to compress the tensioner. I did not seen to find the spot for the locking pin to fit into so I removed the compression tool. Well, now the the tensioner does not seem to be returning to tension...it seems to be stuck compressed?
Anyone seen this? If I remember correctly, the tensioner's function is not linked to oil pressure or the engine running.
More succinctly, can you compress the tensioner too far and get it stuck...or is this just a function of this truck having like 250k miles on it and that it will pop out soon enough?
Thanks in advance for the assistance all.
