> :gtfo… u dont “pull” anything back. you have to thread a bolt into the tensioner to release spring pressure from it.

the tensioner, theres a nub coming off of it, you put the box end of a 16mm wrench and push down on the wrench and you release the tension.

i’ve done it about 4 times so far and have yet to use a bolt.
