Here is what my tensioner looks like after the pulley decided to part ways with the Bullet:






Kragen sells the pulley by itself, and the whole tensioner assembly. Do I need to replace the whole thing based on what you see here, or can I just replace the pulley? And does anyone know the bolt size so I can go to OSH and pick one up? Thanks.

From the pic, those threads look questionable, are they bad? Maybe that's part of the reason why the bolt came out? How much more does the tensioner cost? Keep in mind, if the tensioner has never been replaced before, it has a lot of miles on it. They doesn't last forever. If the thing looks marginal to you, I'd consider replacing it since you're in that far.

 

All is good. I just bought the tensioner assembly. Took 10 minutes to replace and put the new belt on. The Bullet lives again!!!
