Unless there's something like both locked holds things too firmly and releasing the tensioners won't provide enough "slop" to remove the bearing, I'd just as soon lock them both and breathe a little easier.
With a car that has already given me 175K miles of fun, this next bit is tough to say.
I want to get that bearing cover off before I decide which bearing to put in, and it seems to me doubly locked might be wise.
If the current bearing is presentable- then LN it is and I enjoy the car hopefully many more years.
If the bearing looks suspect- well, LN says- stop- don't put their bearing in. In that case- I go with the pelican part and offer back up the replacement tranny, and drive to someplace like CarMax and trade on to my next automotive adventure...
If I had 2 locks to be able to list the cover with least risk- then will be in best shape to make a choice.
In the second case- there won't be a new water pump, AOS, RMS, etc.
If all looks good- then I get to make a great shopping list!
So, is there a not evident liability in locking both on the 3 chain car like mine?
Again, my thanks for all your help !!!!
