    Q:
    How to replace the Primary Timing Chain Tensioner on GMC Acadia? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The first step to change the Timing Chain Tensioner requires you to remove the spark plugs to spin the Crankshaft followed by removing the engine front cover. Timing Chain and sprocket markings become essential when performing camshaft timing system installation if the system stayed in stage 2. The installation process starts by unmounting the Timing Chain Tensioner. The installation should start with a new Timing Chain Tensioner followed by reimplementing the spark plugs then installing the engine front cover.
