Hi Guys

I noticed my T4 1997 2.5LTR LWD was starting to squeak on start up. Knew it was coming from t4 auxiliary belt tensioner. Sprayed some WD40 and squeak went away.

OK so I got another tensioner pulley, I have replaced a few of these but a mechanic did the last one on mine and didn't replace the bolt for the tensioner, I went to change it this morning the Bolt is rounded so I have no way of releasing the belt.

Q: I am tempted to just cut the bolt head off bit I would like to release the belt first, Any suggestions ideas on either another way of getting the bolt out or another way to release the belt so I wont have any tension on the pulley.

Also anyone know what size bolt is used for the pulley.

Cheers,
D
