    Theres a bolt you have to turn down and theres a special tool to hold it in when installing...I would buy it new if I were you. Auto tensioners are not wise to reuse.

              i would just do the h23 tensioner conversion. i, personally, dislike the stock h22 tensioner alot. i think that is such a pain in the ass design. especially if you plan on keeping the car for awhile. when you change the belt next time it will be much simpler. just my $.02, good luck either way!

                Getting an h22 belt onto the h23 is a bitch. I say go with what you want. If the motor is stock with bolt ons your fine with an auto. The manual is if you go more aggressive with the valvetrain.

                    the holder brackets come on new auto tensioners. i went to the dealer and asked to buy the bracket, they sold me a used one they had sitting around their shop.

                    open the 8mm oil seal plug and twist the internal screw to pull the spring in. install bracket to hold the spring down and reinstall the small bolt. install the belt as normal and pull the bracket back off.

                      dont forget to loosen the 8mm bolt while you're holding the auto tensioner bolt face up. There is oil inside that will spill if you dont.

                      ...adjust accordingly
