How to replace the chain tensioner on a car?
A bit of oil will leak out, but just a tablespoon or so. You won’t need to drain the engine oil. Remove the 10mm bolts at the top of the timing chain guide rails (both front and rear) and replace the guides with new ones. You get to the 10mm bolts through the 2 large, round ports on the side of the housing.
