Idler Pulley Bolt? 96 blazer
Was driving home, and lost my idler pulley along with my belt. Bolt is gone.
I can get the pulley and belt from auto stores just fine, but nobody sells the bolt. Any ideas where I can get a bolt/how much it'd be?
Also, are there any good guides on replacing an idler puller & rerouting a serpentine belt at home?

Is there anything special I should know when going to replace this myself? Any kind of tricks of the trade?

Hey! Uh- The complete idler pulley assembly with a new bolt is availiable from any parts store that I know of! Can't recall the price,but under $100 anyway! Had to put one on my 96 and when I stripped her:that part came with me as a spare for the replacement 97-still in a box in the attic! Hint:use never-sieze on that fastener and torque it correctly!
Best to you!
Best to you!

STEP66 was saying to buy the entire assembly Did the Idler come off the Engine Block or off the Tensioner?? Buy the whole tensioner

^ he said he lost the idler pully, not the belt tensioner.
