The first step to replace the Timing Chain Tensioner requires removal of camshaft cover and engine front cover. Rotate the Crankshaft clockwise until the #1 Piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Use the j 44221 (Camshaft Holding Tool) to secure the camshafts in position toward their rear ends.
