OK. Im totally stumped on removing the timing belt. I followed the VFAQ and got to the part where you use the special tool (modified battery tie down bolt) and compress the auto tensioneer pushrod (step 11 here) When I screw the tensioner tool in it seems to do nothing. I can get the allen wrench to go into the tensioner body but not the tensioner pushrod. I'm assuming that when I tighten the tensioner tool that it is supposed to have some sort of effect on the tensioner push rod? It doesnt really seem to have any at all. Does anybody have any suggestions for removing\installing a timing belt? Most of the head pull has gone super smooth except for this one step. Also, I have no balance shafts so im not concerned with removing the balance shaft bolts. Thanks again!

make sure you compress the tensioner slowly so as not to blow out the seals in that tensioner, if you want a mechanical tensioner Mitsu 77's shop makes them and im sure he could swing you a price. just find some kind of pin to stick in through the tesioner rod to keep it from readjusting out, it doesn't have to be a battery doohickey
