"If you only took the plug out ,cleaned and resealed it back in thats fine . the actual tensioner adjuster part screws in and out with Allen keys" [quote,Woosha]

"Whoosha I think I have encountered the same prob!.. How much should I be freaking out?!.. I unscrewed my plug and this thing gave it a good push when the plug came off the thread.."[quote, inventiv]


As long as you havent touched the actual adjuster, the cap bolt (plug) should go back the way it popped off. Do not screw in the allen head bolt (adjuster) at all because its already adjusted for the right tension, just be careful not to thread anything when pushing the cap bolt back in when tightening up. If your not sure pm Woosha & go from there.

cheers, Maka
