    930 tensioner bleeding?

    New 930 (NON-pressure fed) tensioners: Before I install, is bleeding required? I've found answers both ways. Thanks

    Yes. The best way to accomplish this is to attempt to compress the tensioner using a large pair of rusty channel lock pliers borrowed from your neighbor. Usually this results in the pliers slipping off the rounded base of the tensioner, pinching your skin in the pliers, drawing blood. You may have to repeat this exercise two or three times before you give up, compress the tensioners in a vise with something to push the piston below the level required to insert the pin, insert the pin, install the tensioner, then use an oil can to fill the tensioner cup with oil, pull the pin, torque the prevailing torque lock nut, witness mark the nut and then pour yourself a Jaegermeister to blunt the pain of the bleeding exercise.
