Belt snapped and bolts stuck

ok so I am in a dire need for the three long hex head bolts in the smaller size...

my belt somehow went from perfect condition to dead on 2 ribs in about 4 miles...

so this evening I got the blower off in an hour 10 minutes ...(new record)

and I cannot get the hex head bolts off...three are damaged beyond use...

I have been referred to some place in Hesperia called NuttyBolts...for replacements...

anyone think they know of a source for these right away...I am gonna haev to pay to get these things removed tomorrow and the ****ES ME OFF
cause I like doing my own work...damn Stillen bracket...there is SO much LocTite there are hardly any that came off of all but last three without struggling...

so anyway I have all the parts I need except did not plan these bolts would be an issue...so I can go all the way down to 2.87 if I want but will likely go with 3.12 for now...

I NEED HEX HEAD BOLTS IN V2 sizes

If the bolt heads are stripped your gonna have to drill them out... It took us forever to do just one (I guess it helps to have the right tools, though).

I got my SC pulley bolt from Brafasco. $10 minimum order and it's a $0.50 part, so they gave it to me for free. Can't beat that price

I don't know if they have brafasco's in the states though. Could be a canada-only chain but I'm not sure.

Well..I got the bolts heads drilled out and I replaced the pulley and belt...everything went back together ok,,,and the car is running but I am going to baby it some as I did not remove enough of the post to prevent rubbing.

So anyhow, at least I can drive again...and on a 3.12...
