    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The solid side of the oil seal should face outward and you put the rod thru from the back if that helps.There should only be one way that is goes in.

Ok thanks.

I'll try it again.

The lockshaft just wouldn't go through from the back with the seal that way round. Even with the seal out of the tensioner I still couldn't get it on the shaft that way round without dragging the inner surface with it so that the shaft won't turn :?

I'll try using a bit more oil on it.........
 
OK folks. Panic over.....

It's just very fiddly getting the lockshaft thru the oil seal but patience and perseverance has prevailed.

I've now got a nice clean tensioner all working smooth as silk ready to bolt back on to "that ****ing noise machine" (my neighbours words, not mine :-D)

Do a search on the cam chain tensioner rebuild and you will find bwringer's web sight on how to do this.It will make more sence than me trying to tell you.That's where I learned how to do it and he even has pictures to go by!!!
 
All done.....

Everything went on smoothly and the tensioner was doing it's job when I turned the crank.

I'm well pleased! This is easily the most complex job I've done on a bike so far but I'm inspired by my new found confidence. I'm looking forward to that top end job now.

Just been for a blast round the block and you just know I'm grinning.... :-D

Thanks to everyone who has helped me on this. Couldn't have done it without you. Hope to be able to put some knowledge back in one day....
