Does anyone have experience with the SOHC 4g63? I recently bought a Mighty Max and it has developed a severe leak in the front main seal area.

I am having trouble taking the tensioner off of the timing belt. I took the adjustment bolt out of the bottom and the only other thing I can see holding it in is the bolt in the top part of the attached picture. It looks like an allen head but none of the allen keys in my set work and I don't think its a traditional bolt head.

Can anyone help me? This is the only thing hindering me from completing my seal change.

Thanks!

Eureka! So I thought the hole looked funny, the hole is actually fit for a 3/8" allen wrench! What I thought was the bolt was actually a stud. Thought I would update this for future searches.
