Anyone have one that I can borrow for the week? I need to do my timing but don't have that tool.

Does anyone have the part number, I just need to buy one. Got any for sale over there Jonathon?

You don't "need" the tensioner tool to do a timing belt job. If you have a good sized C-Clamp and a skinny hex tool (or a pin), you should be fine. After you take off the timing belt cover, just unbolt the tensioner from it's two 12mm bolts. Then when it's time to reinstall, C-clamp the tensioner head down and stick a hex or pin through it's head to hold it in place. When you bolt it back up, remove the pin, and the tensioner should be set exactly like you had it before you pulled it off. Save a few bucks. The only good thing about a tensioner-tool in my opinion is for doing cam-shaft swaps. They are a waste other wise.
