What plunger part are you meaning? The tensioners are 1 piece, you remove & replace with a whole new unit, you dont take it apart.

I would question why you think you need tensioners replaced. Remember, there are 3 of them. Each are specific to their location in the engine and cant be swapped around.

Suggest starting a new thread with the relevant information also, you may not need to replace these.
