    Hi I need to remove the cam chain  tensioner but I can't loosen the screw that allows me to turn the tensioner out. So can I remove the tensioner without winding it out?
    thanks

    You can just unbolt the tensioner unit it will push outwards as you loosen the bolts  but getting the blanking plug out with it off can be interesting
