    Q:
    How to replace the left side secondary camshaft intermediate drive Timing Chain Tensioner on Buick Enclave? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Replacing the left side Timing Chain Tensioner begins with removing the engine front cover. Start the replacement process by removing the spark plugs because this step helps you rotate the Crankshaft. The left bank Timing Chain Tensioner needs to be removed next. Begin by installing the new left bank Timing Chain Tensioner then reinstall the spark plugs afterwards. The installation sequence concludes with engine front cover reattachment. Proceed with the right tools in place while recording all component numbers particularly for tensioner and spark plugs parts.

    How to replace the Primary Timing Chain Tensioner on Chevrolet Traverse? Posted by Customer
