broken timing belt tensioner?

Can someone please confirm the below:

 

hand tight tensioner

place the tensioner pointer so it is inline with the final prong

then while you hold the pointer there , you have to torque up the main bolt.

 

The problem I have is when you torque the bolt down , it does not hold the pointer. the pointer just springs back. Broken tensioner?

No way of keeping it there.

 

This engine was bought from a breakers and the cambelt was assembled and tensioned. I then took the engine apart. Can a tensioner break from just removing it .

Find that odd.

Yeah theres two prongs that goes either side of a bolt head. That keeps the tensioner whole part in place.

 

 

Then you have a third prong that I think you line up with the  pointer that you have to manually push down.

 

Then your supposed to hold it there and tighten the bolt.
