HELP! CCT install gone awry!! **PICS**
So my bike is in 50 pieces right now, because I can't get my CCT back in!
Removed the old cct no problem. When I go to put the new OEM cct back in, there is already tension from the cam chain so that I can't even begin to thread the 2 bolts back into the engine. I have been trying to slightly angle it and just get one single thread started but to no avail. WTFFFFF
I'm sure this problem doesn't even exist with the APE cct. What does the 'key' they included with my OEM cct do? Do I need to somehow release the tension on my OEM and then use the key to add the tension again?
UPDATE: mission accpomplished. See pics below:

That's the thing, when I got it the key was already out. I bought it off bikebandit.com and it was packaged in this plastic bubble wrap and the key was just laying in there.
It's the double blue dot version of the OEM CCT. On this thread they discuss using a screwdriver to back the tensioner out again, like it's not a big problem: http://cbrworld.net/forums/4/85183/ShowThread.aspx
