[ROVERNET - UK] Renolds timing chain tensioner.

[Paul Smith]

The hole is in the back, takes an Allen wrench.
Some don't have it (handy) in which case you restrain it with wire wrapped
around it which you then remove.

I am having trouble with the timing chain tensioner on my Rover 2000TC which

I am reassembling.  The timing chain tensioner I have is a Renolds 
tensioner, and there is no hole in the side of it, to release the spring 
tension, as per the instructions in the manual. I can fit the tensioner 
okay, but I cant work out how to release the tension in the sping. Any 
suggestions would be most helpfull.

Regards,

James Radcliffe.
