1. Prepare the chain tensioner for fitting by pressing down the catch and pushing in the chain tensioner.

2. Fit the chain tensioner with a 27 mm socket.

Tightening torque: 63 Nm (47 lbf ft).

3. Fit the chain tensioner plug with push rod and spring.

Tightening torque: 22.5 Nm (16.6 lbf ft).

As the plug is screwed in, the spring pushes the tensioning arm out and so tautens the chain.
