you compress the tensioner and there's a pin that slides into it and holds the tensioner back. Put on belt and pull pin.

Read Durk's Linky. It is the best TB replacement DIY writeup out there IMHO.

i got it. i first just put the tenshioner in with long bolts. once the pin is pressed in, you use a small pin or allen wrench to "lock the tenshionier " then R/R belt. pull the pin and bingo.

thanks i am a bit a newb, since only worked on mini bikes as a young kid... and now i am doing motor swap. LOL brain damage

i didnt have a vise so a nearby shop compressed it, and pinned it then I installed it correctly. rotated the engine once or twice and all the top dead center marks lined up. left cam, right cam and the crank pulley...
