I am about to replace my timing belt on a '97 Contour. The Haynes manual says that I must put in a spring and retaining pin for the tensioner. Has anyone done this, is it necessary and where do I find this part? It's not listed at fordparts.com and does anyone know how much it cost?
Thanks,

1997 Ford Contour 4dr, Z-TEC 4 cylinder, that Longhorn Dodge thouroughly screwed the wiring up on.
