I believe there's one for the tensioner. The one that you can make out of your battery hold down.

yah the little pulley with the 2 holes on it... iv always just tightened the lock nut up so its snug then used a long punch and a hammer to tap up , which in my experience the 2 little holes on the pulley usually end up on the top side of the pulley, when u do this all you have to do is tighten the nut after using the punch and hammer and the tension is set and tighten it down :) its pretty easy to do if u cant find the tool i can show u when u get to that point dan if u end up not finding the tool
