    That will explain it in detail. its very easy to do actually.

    It would help if you got a 400ex factory manual, you can find them all over the net.

    you DO NOT have to buy a new tensioner, found a way to fix it

    when mad440 said that if you take off your tensioner you have to buy a new one, but i didn't want to pay 50 buks for a new tensioner so i found a way to fix it.

    1-once you have the tensioner off, unscrew the Phipps screw on top.

    2-then in the hole, youll see a little indented das. get a flathead and twist the dash left and right.

    3-this should pull in/out the tensioner.

    4-screw the tensioner all the way in and it should get stuck.

    5- then put the tensioner back in the motor and evenly screw in the bolts on both sides.

    6- then make sure the chain isn't too tight, but the tensioner should do they for you,

    hope you understood, if you have any questions just ask. ill be glad to answer them for you
