Timing belt question

[98mitsubishigst]

using this guide :Timing Belt VFAQ



Screw the tool in until its end makes contact with the tensioner arm. Screw the tool in a little more, and remove the set wire/pin from the auto tensioner.
Remove the tensioner tool.
Remove the two clips holding the belt to the camshaft sprockets.
Rotate the camshaft timing belt tensioner pulley so that the pinholes are under the center bolt. Tighten the center bolt to spec (48 Nm (35 ft-lbs)) (Figure 19


after i have done that ^^ it tells me too...

Loosen the tensioner pulley bolt, then use the special tensioner tool and a torque wrench to apply 3.5 Nm (2.6 ft-lbs) of torque to the pulley (this puts a light tension on the timing belt). Tighten the tensioner pulley bolt to spec (48 Nm (35 ft-lbs)) (Figure 20).


Why do i have to do this? i dont understand?

I've taken an allen wrench to put in one of the holes on the idler roller then use a 12mm socket on 1/4" drive and put that socket on the center bolt.

Then the long arm of the allen rests against the socket and I use the socket as a fulcrum point when I push down (for the 6 bolts, pull up on the 7 bolts where the arm of that allen will be below the socket as addressed above) on the allen end to roll that roller around to get the belt at the proper tension. Then when I got it, I sinch down the socket with the drive and release the allen wrench.

I've always just used a pair for 90 degree needle nose plyers for the tensionr pulley. To some everything up and make it seem less confusing, after you get the belt on rotate the tensioner pulley and tighten the tension pulley bolt so the tension pulley stays there for the time being. Rotate the engine over a few times and let it sit for a few minutes. Then see if you can slide the pin (or whatever your using to hold the tensioner down) in and out easily. If so you have correctly set the tensioner pulley. If not then loosen the tension pulley bolt and try again.
