Does anyone know how i can find out the part number for a bolt that i need? i need a new bolt for the tensioner on the power steering pump idler pulley, i went to change my belts and the bolt looks like this so i need a new one...

 

I did the same thing...I replaced it with a non-collared bolt and I just locked 2 nuts together to create a collar. Junk yard is your best bet.

 

It looks like Courtesy only offers the entire idler, not just the bolt:

mine was from the alternator, not the P/S pump...although they might be the same, I never compared them.

 

yeah you'll need to get the entire assembly

 

side question: is the inside of an idler pulley supposed to be lubricated with anything?

I cleaned my AC one thoroughly when I pulled the front chain cover, and now I think its making some noise.

 

it's a sealed bearing so no lube needed. if the seal is gone then you need a new bearing/pulley
