cam chain tensioners

I have a new(ish) 'Tension, Cam Chain' (14500-268-010) and would very much like to replace the one currently in use. Although Honda shows the tensioner assembly with part numbers for the parts, there is no mention of the fasteners which seem to be rivets. Disassembling the assembly seems easy enough but does anyone have any suggestions about reassembly?

LM is right. No surprises there.

Hydraulic type tensioners can move but this one is locked in place but the adjusting bolt

I'm sorry to say so but your response is a non sequiter. Do you have anything to say about the rivet?

Appreciate that he replied at all.
I think his reply may be better appreciated by others on this forum than you. .............lm

A forum like this should be a friendly place where people with a common interest help each other. Like the last time you responded to one of my postings, you come across as rather belligerent and angry for reasons I don't understand. I can't think of anything I may have written to offend you. If I have, please point it out and I'll apologise. Perhaps I'm misreading you. I hope I am.

Looking at the thread, I see that the posting I was responding to was not a response to my question but someone else's. That's why it appeared to be a non-sequitur. If you felt the need to reply you could have pointed out my mistake without the insults.

To get back to the original post..........

Here is an early arm and a late arm side by side. Notice how the late style arm has a slight upsweep to it while the early one is straight. The late style also has a small offset to the wheel

The late style is on the left and early on the right

I don't mean to distract from Farm Shop's topic, just have a question.

The wheel on my cam chain tensioner is quite worn and I see a couple of E-Bay listings for just the rubber wheel.
It does not look as if Honda designed it to be replaceable. Have people successfully done this?
