The front tensioner is so much easier to deal with if the thermostat housing is off. And if you are removing it there is no point in putting the plastic one back on because if it is not already leaking it soon will be.Be aware that before you take out the timing tensioners you should probably drop the oil pan and look for any plastic debris in the pan. If there is debris, one or both of the tensioner cassettes could possibly fall apart when you remove the tensioners.</blockquote>
