i fitted a new radiator a few weeks ago and decided while at it to fit two new drive belts as the one for the alternator looked a bit crap and was very slack.. its a few weeks on and the belt for the alternator is now squeeking a bit for the first 10mins of a drive, so guessing needs the slack taking back out of it, only problem i have is that the 10mm bolt on the tensioner/ bracket is rounded ( the bolt that actualy slides up and down along the bracket not the 13/14mm bolt that acts as the pivot ) theres not enought room for me to hammer a slightly smaller socket over the top of it and after 2hrs today its got me beat..
i have two questions realy
Has anybody tried these things and are they any good http://www.screwfix.com/p/irwin-5-piece ... -set/96028
and
if i manage to get a replacment bolt, and if i manage to get the other one off, ive tried to feel behind the bolt and it feels like it screws into a bracket attached to the alternator directly, without the use of a nut, is this correct ?
as if i remove the bolt completely and it is a nut behind it, and it drops away, i doubt ill be able to attach the nut back on without first getting better access, which looks like removing front bumper and radiator or removing the steering pump
