    Hi Everyone, this is somewhat urgent because my parts are on order and if I need to make changes, now is the time to do it.

    Since I am replacing the hydraulic tensioners I figured might as well replace the pawl. However while the workshop manual correctly states that there are two tensioners, there is only ONE pawl (ref. 33). Is that a misprint? Or you only need it for one side? That doesn't make sense to me. Why would you only need one if there are two separate tensioners? Could someone please confirm if I need just one or is it really two?

    You need 1 for each side.

    Both sides have essentially identical belt and shaft arrangements.

    That's what I am worried about. Glad to catch it in time. Not sure why they are saying only one is needed when the diagram is encompassing both sides. Thank you!
