No problem Wendy, your spring tensioned set up was the ATI kits savior. If Heath didn't post up...I would have sold the ATI kit and its belt slipping ways

And I wear my SDCE long sleeved shirt all the time now that its cold here, goes good with my race jacket. To the guys that didn't get one, nee-ner nee-ner

J/K I know SDCE will deliver on said promises....with the problems they solved for us, I will always be thankful.

Rick, how did you get a tool in there to bring the tensioner back?
I dont use their tool. Just a prybar and the other hand on the 19mm wrench ready to tighten it. If you go from under the setup, say you are sitting on the passenger side under the car, look up at the spot where the dust cover is at. Basicly, get a flat head screw driver under it and pry in the direction you need to start, then use a real prybar and pull the rest of the way. Once you hit about 15 or so on it, then tighten while holding the prybar. A few times and you become a pro. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I can see how it could happen, but I use an angle prybar, and it doesnt seem to put alot of stress. I guess I wont know until I do break one finaly.

Yeah I've got it down pat now. I can do it solo and relatively quickly. I think using a gear wrench on the tool and then using a pipe on the gear wrench to get easy leverage and be able to hold it one handed.

The only thing I still have problems with is on top. Getting to the ATI dipstick can be tough with the coolant lines running over top. It's just crowded up there, but not too bad.
