thanks for the reply I only drive my truck 500-1k miles a year to be honest. I was digging around in there because the water pump started leaking through the weep hole and had a new water pump and timing belt sitting in the back since 2007 lol I might just order a new one anyway because the local parts stores want 25 bucks a piece for the belts but Rockauto has them for around $10 combined.... fwiw the old belt was immaculate though a bit on the loose side

I replaced the timing belt on my Pathfinder yesterday but I am unable to get the end of the spring to stay on the stud. If I add any amount of tension (by rotating the tensioner) it slips right off. It almost looks like its missing about 1/4" off of the end of it. My teenage neighbor kid was helping me remove everything so there is a chance he damaged it on the way out Is the spring absolutely vital in some way I am not understanding? Because it does not look to me that it does anything at all. With the locknut tightened down the adjuster doesn't move so its not like the spring provides a strong counter force. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
