I'll post up pictures later but the thread and nut that you use to tighten the alternator broke. The nut... or top part of the bolt I should say snapped off and I'm not sure if it's capable of being replaced. Anyone have any ideas? I need to check and see if my car can still run without the battery connected... don't want that thing going dead.

I'll post pictures later tonight.

CN: Top part of bolt broke on alternator tensioner.

 

You should be able to find that nut in any hardware store.

 

where are the tensioners for the ac/steering & alternator belts, cos i need to tighten mine up (belts jumping/squealing), but i don't know where to look., i heard its easy to do though.

pics would be nice.

 

Buy a new tensioner?

 

I couldn't find it on autozone.com Think it's a dealer part?

 

yea it is , this happened to me the other day , you have to order them thou in mits , i have to pick mine up tomarrow, but the my car still works fine without it , to tighten it i used a steel clamp and bolted on the other screw on the alt back on , and works great , or the same i should say

 

ps it cost 2:44 and the part # is mf140233

 

or are u talking about the little steel box looking thing , i also broke it , i guess im just to stong,lol jk, but that part cost 7:72 and part # is md320269

 

nah just the the top part of the bolt man. thanks that's awesome... how'd you get it off?

 

you just pull it up when its unscrewed

 

Probably can't just buy the bolt-head, dude. When you break a part of it, you usually replace the whole piece. Still, pretty cheap.

 

nope i bought it and got it on tuesday, they sell it bye its self
