Manual Tensioner
Im in the process of doing this a few of you have tried to explain the process to me however it seems there is a debate about using the tripod piece. As well where 2point6 says this:
Next we will install the balance shaft tensioner pulley. For this install, we will re-use the H22 part. The H23 part has a larger spacer that places it further out away from the timing belt pulley. I recomend using the H23 part (not shown), but with a few washers (used as spacers) the H22 pulley (pictured) can be used correctly.

Re: Manual Tensioner (lude98SH)
Either use the H22 balance shaft pulley(needs spaced to clear with washers) Or
Use the H23 balance shaft pulley( no spacing required)
The tripod piece is there for holding tension on the Timing belt while installing the balance shaft belt.

I found the timing belt is a TON easier to install if you sh*t can that little L shaped bracket that has a hole so you can lock the tensioner in place. You can just use the center nut on the stud to hold the tensioner in place. Remember to use shorter bolts, as those two bolt holes do help hold the oil pump on the engine. 
When trying to install the timing belt, the tensioner hits one of the bolt heads if that L bracket is in place. That makes the belt very difficult to get on. Without the L bracket there, you can move the tensioner quite a bit more and get more slack in the belt.
Since I wasn't using the balancer belt, I just made a spacer out of aluminum to take up the space usually occupied by the balance shaft belt pulley.

to op, yeah you can do what 117 did, u can use a spacer, washers to space it out properly.. or you can go out and buy a balance belt pully.. and use that as well.. that what i did.. they cost like 60 bucks from the dealer
