Hi guys, does anyone have an auto tensioner stopper tool they can measure for me please? I don't have one and it looks to be quite important when it comes to fitting the tensioner. I don't want to buy one so I thought I'd just make one.
cheers

yes if your geting new from honda it come with stopper assembled on the tensioner - ive had a tensioner failure due to improper handling (ie/ no stopper used when removing it/replacing it) - some poeple try and fit these useing a flat blade screwdriver to depress the plunger - this is not a good idea

I got a used tensioner from Rich on here, it has only been used for 5k or so, but unfortunately it didn't come with the stopper thing.indigolemon wrote:You should get one with the new tensioner?
Vanzep, I think the link HondaHardy has posted shows how you can refit a used tensioner, but it is again thinking that I have the stopper.

I've got my brand new one at home still that I can measure up for you if you like.
Or I could lend you mine maybe, as long as it's not likely to get damaged. Might cost a bit in postage each way though.
No?
