[QUOTE="canyonman, post: 759738, member: 5637"] I was able to replace the CCT without removing the right cover but I did have the top cover off and I did keep as much tension on the chain as I could using a wire tie at the TOP of the motor before removing the old CCT I was able "with a good deal of difficulty" to snake a wire tie around the top of the "rear slipper" and around the timing chain at the front of the motor under the cam sprockets and pull the two towards each other there by maintaining tension on the chain. I used some very long hemostat like devices and my full vocabulary of 4 letter words to pull it off but was able to keep the chain tensioned while I swapped out the CCT. Guess I should of taken pics it whould have been a lot easier to explain. Like Ashe said I wouldn't release that CCT without ensuring in some way that the chain stays tight. [/QUOTE]
