Part # for Idler/Tensioner Bolt & Nut? (adjusts AC/Alt belts)

Wasssaap. Like a fool, I broke this bolt today ...while also wasting my time taking my alternator off and riding my bicycle 15 miles round trip to Autozone. That's another issue... Anyway, I pushed the pulley as tight as I could for now and it isn't slipping, but I need the bolt and nut to adjust the water/alternator belt. Anyone know it or where I could see a picture of it, etc? Thanks!

The other problem is battery draining. I replaced the ORIGINAL battery a week ago, thinking it finally bit the dust, but the problem is/was still there - hence the bike ride. Good times! It seems to be better now, but time will tell. The + starter cable did seem SLIGHTY loose or maybe just reattaching everything better secured some connections? Replacing/testing an alternator is NOT fun.

Why not just buy the tensioner pulley assembly? + courtesy + idler pulley.

Or ... PM me, I have an extra.

Dude, isn't that like $50? I just need the bolt & nut. If it's more than $10-15 I'll just leave it or try to rig something ...

You can try a junk yard.

I must be brain dead ...or just subconsciously avoiding that. It didn't even cross my mind, lol. I've had some very vivid and unpleasant experiences with junkyards though - things that sting, bite (rottweilers), and wasting my time not finding what I need.

dont be cheap! just man up and buy the whole assembly from the dealer. it's no more than 55 bucks and you have the confidence that the whole thing is new.
