Anyone pulled there own wrench's and replaced it? does it need the tensioner and/or what else is needed at the point?

Believe it or not of all the Kias I find these to be the easiest to change. The tensioners is hydraulic so you are going to have to have a vice to depress the plunger, but other than that it is fairly easy.
Some may recommend changing out the tensioner but I dont believe it to be necessary.
I havent seen any fail yet.
