Default Bakers attitude install

Just placed an order for a Bakers attitude tensioner in hopes it will help with my clanking primary. Can someone tell me if it's difficult to install, I thought I read you can install it without removing the chain, but I can't find the post.

On my '15 Limited Low, I didn't have to remove the chain, but did have to remove the comp bolt & slide things outwards to get room to slip the adjuster behind the chain.

Maybe it has changed since.... I did it a year ago.

If you do have to remove the bolt, best to buy a new one, they're only like $5 at the dealer & have the dry thread sealer on them. You'll also need a T-70 Torx bit, and some way of locking the comp/chain from turning...

It's not a big job, but that comp bolt is ON THERE lol. I used a long breaker bar, some say they use heat to melt the loctite.
