## Questions & Answers

**Q: When viewing from the mounting surface (like the image on this product page) does this tensioner push in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction?**
A: Hi Eric, from the mounting side perspective, the tensioner can only move counter-clockwise against the spring, so the strength of the "push" would be in a clock-wise direction.Bruce

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2012 Versa Hatchback 1.8 Exact fit
*by E***. on September 15, 2025*

Exact fit. Not gonna lie , removing that torx screw(T50) was a bit difficult but not impossible. Had to remove the engine mount to get to it. Once removed, I jacked up the engine until I was able fit my ratchet and torx socket to remove the screw. I have a 2012 versa hatchback 1.8
