Timing Belt Changing Question.?

[KiaSon]

I am going to change the timing belt on my 2005 Sedona. I went to Global Services to read up on how to do it.
One of the things that was confusing is were the talk about using a Tensioner Pulley Socket. Is this a special tool to be used or am I not understanding there instructions.

Hi , I'm going to change the timing belt on my 2003 Kia Carnival 2,9 tdi
I need some help on where to find a manual on how to do this.. did you have any good links ? You were asking about a tension wheel socket.. I think they mean that you can use a tool like a 15 / 17 mm socket to loosen the tension on the belt.

is this a 3.5l engine you are working on? If so you do not need to touch the tensioner pully, But be very careful as the camshaft closest to the fire wall moves quite abit and it hard to line up the timing marks on that head. We have tools to lock the cam gears so they do not move.
