Any tips on installing HPD chain tensioner?

4 years later, I actually installed this thing!
The first thing we did was to tighten the chain to an acceptable level.
Secured, prepped and ready for wrenching
We removed the wheel for easy access and we removed the stock chain guard as per the installation instructions
The stock tab cut easily and cleanly with a Sawzall
I retained the stock hardware just in case
I released the spring from the arm to ease test fitting
Still test fitting, checking the zirk clearance
Marked the holes
Measurements from the sprocket guard
Mine had a score mark that lined up with the bottom of the swing arm
Clearance from the bottom of the swing arm
Clearance between the chain and the zirk
Successfully installed!
And one of the first things I did after installation was get a small bamboo chute wedged between the nylon roller and the mounting bracket, which made it stop turning. I am going to destroy this piece in no time.
