once you cool off and get your wits back about you, pop a cold one and read the writeup by Townsend Imports. I've done 3 of the HG jobs now using his play by play, and it has worked pretty well. Lord knows he has (had?) done so many, about every wrinkle ever encountered is covered.
Never had a tensioner fail. I'd certainly try to extract. Soak it with KROIL or other penetrant. Is there enough meat to put an easy out into the broken end of it? I recall the later design, little wishbone sized ratchet dog to tension up the chain. If you can figure it out (a bit cryptic), snap a pic of what the broken tensioner end looks like and post it here. These folks have BTDT, certainly someone has experience.
Don't loose heart!
