I was replacing the power steering/AC/alternator/crank belts and the nut on the idler pulley tensioner was rusted to the bolt (shaft) and it sheared the shaft in two. I can't tighten the outer belt now and the car is laid up. If anybody's got one in the Phily area that is still functional please let me know. This isn't a part that any auto parts store seems to carry. My email is dukelubas (at) gmail (dot) com. (replace (at) and (dot) with periods.

Thanks to anybody that can help. The car is located in northeast Philly.

This is the part I need:


BROKEN

 

FWIW, we don't have fan belts.

If you're looking for help locally, you should try regional, will get a lot better attention than here.

If you can wait a few days, get it from Courtesy or Dave B, or try ordering it at a local dealer.

I assume you're talking about the bolt that runs vertically? If so:
11948-31U0A, $11.83 each at Courtesy

If you're talking about the one that goes horizontally:
11928-31U04, $6.78 each at Courtesy

 

pmohr,
Both bolts run vertically...

I'll post to the northeast forum as well, thanks for the advice.

I grew up working on cars with actual fan belts so forgive me. It's a common term that I think most people recognize. It's been a long day.

 

Ah. That assembly is a bolt and a nut, the horizontal bolt I was referring to goes through the tensioner pulley itself, with the 14mm head nut that locks the pulley down.

Personally, given the amount of those I've seen break from age and people just going crazy on them (especially without loosening the locking nut first), I'd go with a new one, and make sure to use some anti-seize on it.

 

Since you're so handy with the part numbers, think you can pull that one up for me? I will definitely order a new one but for now a used one with do. If only to get the car back on the road.

 

The part number for which? The first part number above is for the vertical adjustment bolt (the bottom piece in your picture, of course along with the remainder of it inside of the nut).

As for the nut:
11934-31U03, $6.15 each at Courtesy

 

i've got a spare i can sell - how's $12 shipped sound?

 

I found one in a local junk yard today, but thanks for the help. I've also got one on order from courtesy nissan to use permanently.
