hi mate pretty sure its the same as most of the other ones take it out and it fully extends then put it in a vice end to end and slowly compress the pin into it again, you will see a hole in the housing and one in the shaft slide a split pin into the hole so it holds the shaft in. reinstall on car and once the belt is set up ready for tension pull the split pin out and it will spring out again.
