the bolt for pulling is one like or from the thermostat housing. b e careful taking them out they are often very fragile and half eaten away.

good luck.

thanks for the thermostat housing bolt tip. yes, i do have the rad off. vision's of driving something through the rad overcame my temporary confusion. i can only see the top of the tension rail right now, it doesn't look like any of the 3 types of rail in the manual. i've been lucky the chain didn't come off. thank's for all the help you've given me.
