Emillard Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Alright, I may have messed up the CCT before I even installed it. Upon opening the package of the new CCT, I looked at the key thingy and pulled it out. So, as I am now trying to instal the thing, the descended CCT will not allow me to bolt it on. So, did curiosity kill my new CCT or is there a fix? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Simple fix but it might require a extra set of hands. Use a small flat screw driver in the whole you pulled the key out of. I don't remember if it's clockwise or counter but it will be come aparent when you start turning it as you will see it move in. You will have to hold the screw driver to stop the CCT from poping back out, while installing. This is where the extra set of hands comes in as it makes it easier.

I did what you suggested and it worked great. I'm going to limit my curiosity from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The CCT lock that you took out is also a handy thing to use to rewind the tensioner and (hint) lock it in place while you install it....just like it came out of the package! Now it will be a 5 minute job next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
