2000 Chevy Blazer Belt Tensioner

[the_blue_phantom]

Hey guys, I was replacing the alternator on my friend's blazer yesterday and accidentally sheared off the bolt holding on the belt tensioner. Part of the bolt is still in there and the tensioner itself still works, we were able to drive it home alright. Is there any way I can get that bolt out or fix it without having to replace that entire aluminum block that it and the alternator (among other things) are mounted to? Please help!

You try taking the tensioner off and using vice grips on the bolt yet?

Problem is, I can't get the tensioner off. The bolt's broken off down inside where I can't get to it
