You just pop that stamped POS cage out, its not held in there very well (Which is what usually causes the issue to begin with) You will see that those metal fingers barely grip the ID of that port in some cases. All is does is contain the check valve guts which is a small ball and a spring. It's often when that retaining cage dislodges and out comes the spring and ball and the tensioner partially collapses from dumping out the oil pressure its being fed. The methods discussed are all intended to keep it all together, be it some safety wire bridged across the top like a belt, or that guy in your video using a bleeder nipple, or the discs I referenced. In the case of these, you remove the ****ty failure prone retaining cage, but keep the spring and ball in place, and these discs get driven into the recess with a friction fit (can also peen the housing too if you like) and it serves as a better retaining means for the guts of that check valve.
