I'm working on a friends AQ140. I have the Seloc manual. I read the portion on removal and reinstallation of the timing belt tensioner. It says to use channel locks, but it's very unspecific HOW to use them.
I managed to slip the belt off without relieving pressure on the tensioner, but need to reinstall the timing belt to get this thing running.
Can someone help me out? Am I supposed to use them to compress the spring? Any tips? The tensioner assembly rolls freely, but I can't get that spring to move for the life of me. There is corrosion on the spring assy, but it is still in one piece.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Jon
