Confused - chain pad question

[Eric G]

Answering the latter of your questions, there are indeed three chain tensioners and they can be accessed without pulling the engine. Two from the bottom of the engine and one from behind the drivers seat access panel. To change these out it would be advisable to lock the motor in TDC position before removing and replacing. To do the one behind the drivers seat, I found that a set of spanner wrenches saved me from having to remove the power steering pump. Without them, you will have to pull the pump out as well.
