Belt tensioner

My belt tensioner's threads are completely stripped out. Where might I buy a new one? I checked Courtesy nissan and autozone to no avail.

You may be able to find one in the for sale section of the forum as well. I snaped mine in half, and just picked up a real good used one for a few $. My stealer here was drunk and told me over 100$ CDN

The long bolt with the hole on one end and the long nut is about $35 from the dealer. But changing the entire assembly is a good idea if you have fairly high mileage on the car. You get new bearings in the new idler pulley.

In my case, the guy who worked on the A/C a few years ago stripped it. I only found out after A/C failed again and I went to work on it myself.
