It's important to have the special tensioner tool, too. Despite the fact that it can be done without it. With the tool, Marshall and I set the tension perfectly on the first try.
If you have someone that will do it with you and has experience then it's no biggie at all. I just wouldn't go it alone on your first try.
I'll never F another one up again... I really shouldn't have made the mistake that I did but as a newb it was difficult to understand a crucial part.

Double and Triple check everything.
Or, not replace the timing belt tensioner pulley.
Had I never touched that bolt, there would have been 0 problem!
I ended up replacing the water pump, timing tensioner pulley, balance shaft tensioner pulley, and timing belt idler pulley (huge PITA). Probably all overkill.... just swapping in some new belts wouldn't be too bad.

If only I didn't have an Evo to put back together (and finish a 60K service on) and a bathroom to finish demolishing before I start and finish remodeling. Oh, and a lappy to fix.
Sorry, Lee...not a great time right now....
