Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / May 200796 GLE Timing Chain Tensioner
Should I get the kit (13091-31U26) and replace the tensioner and guide, or should I use only the spring, plunger, and o-ring from the kit in my existing tensioner? I want to do this only once. Jim G I decided to replace the tensioner, guide, and water pump while I'm in there. I also discovered that the power steering pulley is warped. Today, my son and I will move the compressor and alternator out of the way so we can get the timing chain cover off. This has been fun (not). > Should I get the kit (13091-31U26) and replace the tensioner and guide, or > should I use only the spring, plunger, and o-ring from the kit in my > existing tensioner?
