Is this timing belt Pulley tensioner item spring loaded or what? I tried to compress this shaft on the work bench and it will not move. I even tapped it with a hammer ... with no movement. Is this as designed? |
It's hydraulic. It's a bitch to compress but it's doable. Yes it's supposed to be like that. That makes the tension on the timing belt. The TB moves around, so you want something that's not going to move right? It's mad to be like that. Use a little WD40 and let it soak a little, then use a big vice or c-clamp and it'll go. First time is the hardest since it hasn't been moved since factory more than likely. But after that (if you mess up putting it back) it's not that hard then.
