[200q20v] Hydraulic/PS Pump Help

[Forhan, Thomas]

That back nut that holds the tensioner assembly in place *is* tough. I
finally used two extensions that ran alongside the block back toward the two
ground nuts, where I placed the ratchet. From there, I was able to get a
straight shot at the nut and decent leverage.

Good luck,

Tom F.
