Quadchip Pulley Spring Tensioner

Ok, generally there is enough tension exerted on the belts without having to alter the position of the nuts, if they have been adjusted then firstly you'll need to back them off to release any additional tension.

Then remove the 'R-clip' from the bottom mount for the tensioner (this will be used later to keep the tensioner in its compressed state ).

Now place a small block of wood on top of the aluminium pulley and using a lever carefully positioned under the exhaust manifold, lever down on the block of wood to compress the spring.

With the spring fully compressed , if you look carefully there is a small hole in the outer tube of the tensioner assembly, this should align with a hole on the inner rod, allowing the 'R -clip' to be inserted and the assembly will then be locked in its compressed position.

If difficulty is encountered compressing the tensioner then it may be that the tensioner has seized due to lack of grease, in this case a liberal spraying of WD40 will hopefully free it off.

With the tensioner locked it's now safe to remove it or change the belts.

I hope this helps......
