A chain tensioner assembly including a blade spring in interlocked association with a plastic shoe. The shoe includes slots at one end and a protruding portion and cylindrical hollow sleeve located at the other end to securely hold the blade spring thereagainst. The assembled shoe and blade spring is pivotally mounted to a bracket. The bracket has a tab with a notch in alignment with the hollow sleeve. A removable retaining pin engages the notch in the bracket and passes through the hollow sleeve to secure the tensioner to the bracket in a retracted state for shipping and subsequent application to an engine.
