I don't understand why everybody is making this out to be a big deal. You don't need a vertical press... grab a big C-Clamp from autozone, harborfreight, etc.... and hold it vertically while you compress the tensioner. I've done it a few times with no ill effects even at 8k+ rpms. Just take your time and go slowly. There is not that much force behind the hydro ram, I think it took me about a minute or two total to fully compress it so i was able to get the retaining pin back in there.
