Well, guys, I wouldn't recommend installing the CCT the way we did in the video. In fact, the manual says not to! A scary rattle sound appeared soon after that which went away after resetting the CCT the way the service manual describes.

You will have to find a way to keep that spring-loaded flathead screw from turning back while you mount the CCT with the push rod tensioner fully retracted. I took one of those flat aluminum metal pieces from a dust/surgical mask and squeezed the tip with a set of vice grips (was too thick to fit in the hole) then skewed it sideways and folded the other end into the notches to hold it.

Now, do not make the mistake of tightening the tensioner cap bolt and O-ring too much like I did. Get a micro torque wrench and do it right. I pulled all the threads out and now need to find a way to properly cap it or else I'll need to replace the whole thing.

At least the rattle went away.
