I finally got the 3 tensioners swapped last week. I was happily rewarded with a nice quiet start up.

Pretty easy job overall. I made a set of cam locking tools like in the video. Hardest part for me was getting the new tensioners compressed and threaded at the same time. Took a couple tries to figure it out. I recommend a 14mm ball end L-shaped allen for installing the top tensioner. Don't bother with the socket type allen, no room with ac compressor still installed.


Thanks for all the advice guys!
