How should I care for this tool kit?

What should I do if a pin doesn't thread easily?
Ensure you are using the correct left or right-hand threaded pin for your specific tensioner, and that the threads on both the pin and tensioner are clean and undamaged. Consult your vehicle's service manual.
Troubleshooting
Pin does not thread into the tensioner
Ensure you are using the correct pin (left or right-hand threaded) for your specific tensioner. Confirm the tensioner threads are clean and undamaged. Refer to the vehicle's service manual for the correct pin type for your engine code.
Difficulty compressing the tensioner
Ensure the pin is correctly threaded and engaging the tensioner mechanism fully. Apply steady, even pressure. If resistance is excessive, double-check engine timing and consult the vehicle's service manual for specific procedures. Do not force the pin.
Pin appears damaged or worn
Inspect the pins regularly for signs of wear or damage. If a pin is damaged, do not use it as it could compromise the tensioner or timing. Replace the pin immediately with an equivalent part.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This kit is designed exclusively for Porsche models including the Boxster, Boxster S, 911, and Carrera equipped with the M96/01, M96/01S, M96/20, or M96/21 engine codes. Verify your vehicle's engine code before use.
Setup: The tensioner pins are designed to thread directly into the existing tensioner mechanisms. Ensure the engine is in the correct timing position (refer to your vehicle's service manual) before attempting to install or use the pins.

Care: After use, clean the pins thoroughly with a degreaser and wipe dry to prevent corrosion. Store the pins in their original packaging or a designated tool organizer to protect them from damage and loss. Avoid exposing the pins to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
