5. Place a suitable wedge between the tensioner
blade and crankcase, to hold the cam chain taut
during removal of the tensioner.
6. Carefully remove the centre nut from the tensioner
and withdraw the tensioner spring.
WARNING: The tensioner centre nut is
under spring tension. Always wear hand,
eye and face protection when withdrawing the
centre nut and take great care in order to minimise
the risk of injury and loss of components.
7. Remove the bolts securing the tensioner to the
upper crankcase and remove the tensioner and
gasket.
Installation
1. Check that number 1 cylinder is still at top dead
centre (TDC).
2. Ensure that the wedge fitted earlier is still holding
the tensioner blade in contact with the timing chain.
Check that the camshaft timing marks point inwards
and are level with the line of the head.
