A load of people recommended replacing the tensioner, so I grabbed everything OEM for it. The spring, the bolt, some other weird thing and the new tensioner pulley itself. I'm doing timing belt / waterpump this week starting yesterday.

Even the service manual doesn't mention it, and every writeup. They just talk about loosening and tightening it, which I understand. Does anybody have any resources for actually replacing the tensioner? Thanks.
