Anyone ever snap the head off the serp belt tensioner? The one behind that power steering reservior. I snapped it off and am now in need of a replacement. Anyone have any suggestions?:passgas:
 
On my 98 I rounded off the bolt so bad that I had to remove everything and unscrew it from the piece sticking out the back.

Replaced the bolt, use the right size socket, and no problems. :angel:
 
If there is a junkyard near you you could just pull one out of Jeep there. I have been meaning to hit up the junkyards near me just so I have a spare. :repair:
 
You're talking about the long bolt that does the actual tensioning? Seems kinda tough to snap that. Anyway, would simply welding a nut on there do the trick?
