| Message: | | you gave me the idea to cut it off, but I cut towards the middle of the shaft to aviod any head gasket issue, and instead of pulling the pin, I left it in and just tapped on the nea tensioner. my logic was this would have no possible damage to the block, only the pin and tensioner were being in play. it worked great.
thanks for your write up as it helped give me confidence.
by the way, I removed the rad, and condensor, inorder to use an impact gun on the crankhub nut...came rightoff. also thanks for the heads up on the orings inside the guide, they were not disturbed useing my method.
