Hi sportygirl2,

Do you mean the timing chain tensioner is fully extended and you want to push it back?

If you need installation procedures, the easiest is to leave it to professionals.

If you want to DIY, best option is to get someone to supervise. If that is not possible, get a manual.

If you have difficulty understanding how to go about from the manual, I would be most willimg to assist. With the manual, you would understand the job and maybe back out ;) if you think you are not up to it.
