RSX K20A3 Timing Chain Tensioner Reset?
While handling the timing chain tensioner the pin I was using fell out and the sprocket fully extended.
How do you reset or compress the tensioner?
On YouTube, I have seen people reset tensioners for other cars using a screw driver.

Chuck it up in a vise, pinch the piston locks, and slowly compress the piston in the vise. Once you have it fully/or nearly fully compressed, you can put your pin back in it.
