I am replacing the timing belt and tensioner on a 78 VW Rabbit diesel. I can't seem to find a way to remove the tensioner. After removing the bolt holding the tensioner in place, the tensioner slides back on the pin it rests on only to hit up against the wheel well frame. There must be an easy way of backing it out and removing it, but I can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Jeff
