I broke the tensioner tightening bolt off, how would you guys go about fixing this?
Flap disc, clean the coating off, reweld with penetration.
Ok, but it should be ok for now, right?
If the belt is tight and you have it locked down with the other fasteners it should be fine.
It is, thanks.
Can you exchange the tensioner for a new one?
I got the parts from RA, but yeah, I should be able to.
So that nut just pushes against the tensioner to push the belt down and keep it tight, right? You could try putting another nut behind the "broke" one. the second nut would lock it in place
Id just swap the nut from over the top of the bracket where the weld broke to underneath it. Hold it in place/position with a wrench, tighten it down with a ratchet, call it a day.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, hopefully the bolt is long enough.
