Fuel pump belt retension

I’m replacing the cam chains and tensioners on my tdv6 but the injector pump timing belt tensioner has slipped on me when I removed it, is there an easy way to slacken the tension of it for refitting? Thanks.

It is supposed to be replaced when the belt is changed. I’m not aware that it can be re set. If belt and tensioner are used, it is worth replacing both. It is not an area of this engine that you would want to revisit, unless absolutely necessary Laughing

They can be reset, but as above, they should be replaced when removed

The kits are cheap enough Thumbs Up

The belt an tensioner has been replaced less than 2 months ago, that’s why I’m using it again.

Should be fairly obvious. Spring inside self tensions the belt, just a case of pushing back against the spring, and locking it off Thumbs Up
