Cam Chain Tensioner Resetting Tool
No football today so spent some time in the shop.
Dicided I had enough with resetting chain tensioners the old fashion way using a small screwdriver, metal scribe, patients and a little luck. Made up these two little tools which make the job literally a snap. After fully compressing the tensioner on the drill press with a 1/4" rod chucked up the outer sleeve of the tool is pushed down on the inner plunger which sets the locking ring in the outer cylinder.

Re: Cam Chain Tensioner Resetting Tool
I made these up out of some scrap material I had laying around.
Next time I'm at the store I will pick up the right size round stock and turn out a few.
