Hello ! The threading instructions diagrams you can find on this page : www.sewusa.com/.../kenmore_ultra_stitch_6_8_12_threading_diagram... includes the adjusting top thread tension and adjusting thread bobbin diagrams. Maybe you wrote "assemble the thread tension" because you have tried to low the tension to the maximum and the tension knob jumped out and got dissambled and you don't know in which order you have to put back all the pieces ? the spring, the little disks and the knob ....

(been there done that ..) , in this case you should look here : mysewingmachineobsession.blogspot.../.../kenmore-158-tension-assembly_11.html
and here : www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzFXRdNE_1s
where the position of the little disks and how they work is very well explained. The mecanical parts of the modern sewing machines are not really different from the ones you find on the older machines they look different or they are more hidden but they work the same way. Hope this helps !
