Where does one get the offset key? Are they available in multiple degrees of offset? Are they very expensive?

I cannot located the article in the CD FSM that covers this operation and removing the chain tensioner.
Does anyone know if it is on the CD offhand? dd

Sweet, thank you!
I can see that the above method differed a bit from the FSM routine. For example, the FSM specifies to take the camshaft gear totally off? It looks to me like the above method does not remove the big gear, just moves it forward just enough. Since the gear is not coming off in the above method, does the rail have to come out? dd

The tensioner is what needs to be removed.

I slid the sprocket all the way off. I removed the tensioner also. Can you just remove the spring? Removing the thermostat housing makes getting the tensioner back in easier. Not saying it's correct, it's the way I did it.

the spring, then the entire tensioner. If you have a ratcheting tensioner, it will not recess enough to provide slack. Although you may not need much for this job. FI has an older engine and I do not know which vehicle you are referring to. The ratcheting type is found on later models - as a rule. Last edited by jt20; 01-07-2009 at 01:38 PM.
