Turn the spring and rod around (it's cap, spring, then narrow end of rod) then put it into the tensioner. When installing, ratchet the tensioner rod into the compressed position, then put it into the head. Then the parts you have screw into the tensioner body.
Also, yes, be very careful pulling the head as not to break the pivoting guide (that the tensioner pushes on). I just had an issue with that in the last hour in the garage here at home. Grrr.
