My belt has been squeaking really bad lately so I went to tighten the bolt and the bolt snapped in half. What's the easiest way to get the bolt out . How hard is this going to be to do.

 

Did you loosen the stop on the idler first? Bolt replace is easy out with the old, in with the new (probably dealer only item tho).

 

no i wasnt aware that i had to loosen the stop on the idler. yea i looked closer at the bolt i just have to cut the bolt in half to get it out and back the other half out.

 

The "bolt" you are referencing to adjust the belt tension is not captive in the bracket. It's not threaded in at all. It sits in a hole on the bottom of the bracket and spins. The pulley 'button' moves up and down the threads to adjust the belt tension. Just go to the junkyard and grab one, it takes 3 minutes and is under $5.
