You are right . . .there is no pin. Look for two tiny holes at the top of barrel where the tensioner shaft pushes out. Insert small diameter drill bit or tiny allen wrench (you need high strength steel rod for this as the tensioner will exert powerful force) into these two aligning holes. This holds the tensioner in place until you remove with pliers to tension your timing belt.Good Luck and keep your nails Dirty!

My transmission will not engage in any of the 4 forward speeds or reverse. Any advice as I plan to rebuild myself (call me crazy) other than buy a used or rebuilt transmission. I figure by watching ETCG videos and reading the automatic transmission manuel I can rebuild it myself. I am inexperienced (computer geek) but very good at following step by step directions (two automotive shops gave up on trying to repair my timing issues after I installed the heads and cams myself). Admittedly I didn’t install the cams properly on the first go but “got it” on the second try. I realize I have only one shot at it on the trans but I’m a cheap bastard and don’t want to pay the $1,500 to $2,500 to a transmission repair shop. What’s your opinion on that?

I had already changed the filter and flushed (approx. 9 quarts) with the system sealed (drain and fill plugs sealed) pumping air into the exit side of transmissiion cooler line. The dirty fluid from torque converter and pumps exiting from the other entrance side of the radiator/trasmission cooler line. I added Lucas transmission fix to the fluid. I have blinking red transmission light coming on after about 15 minutes and staying solid red after 20 minutes. I will run it some more (another flush as well) and get back to you next week. Thanks for the trouble shooting guide on the DTC P1133.

My Rodeo runs great! I’m pulling DTC’s P1133 (O2 Bank sensor, slow response) and P 0752 (Mod$10 Shift solenoid A stuck on) with Trans Light blinking red intermittingly (after driving 15 minutes on freeway at 65 mph) but going off once it cools down. Should I change out 02 sensor and shift solenoid A?
