Remove RightFrontWheel.Ok, how did you guys get to the rear one? I’m having a difficult time getting at it with the tools I have.
Remove rubber LowerMudSkirt.
Drill approx 1.5inch hole in lower edge of plastic UpperMudSkirt, aligned with right rear TimingTensioner.
27mm Socket & 20" or longer 0.5"DriveExtension & 0.5"Rachet.
A deep breath & grunt, turn CCW to loosen Tensioner.
Good to pre-oil new Tensioner, then press most of that oil out before install.
Be sure to use new Seal\Gasket\Washer with new Tensioner, & do your best to center it as it seats.
Be sure not to CrossThread.
