I am replacing the timing belt on a 1994 Nissan Quest, and the factory service manual calls for the use of a 0.35mm feeler guage between the timing belt tensioner and the timing belt, in conjunction with the 98N (10 kg or 22 lbs) force on the timing belt between the camshaft sprockets, to ensure the deflection of the timing belt in correct.

What's the purpose of the feeler guage, and how do i apply a force of 98N on the timing belt?

With the application of a 98N force, the deflection should be between 13mm-15mm, according to the maunal.
