Big emphasis on the part about not dropping the bolt into the frame. Its basically impossible to get it back out. I found a bolt from menards part number 88287, says its a M10-1.5 Thread, 70 mm OAL, 10.9 Grade. It worked for me so far, big tip is to jam some shop rags down around it if you need to bring the bolt through the access hole but otherwise try and go from next to the engine

What do you do if you drop the bolt in that part of the body?

[@MTG6.2]

Would try to get out with a magnet but i would be really hard to get out, you vcould try and get it out other wise your going to have to buy a new one

[@ashleylangston9449]

Thank you I got it out!

[@cornell833]

Number one rule don't drop 🔩 it happens tho Try 🔦 with a magnet for auto work it's long and flexible u ca get at autozone or push come To shove just go buy a new one

What size is the bolt...

[@MTG6.2]

You need a 15 mm socket

[@fully540s3]

What tool are you using to release the tensioner

[@MTG6.2]

[@miguelcastillo6708]

Would a bad tensioner and belt cause louder engine sound? like a hissing?

[@MTG6.2]

It would make noise if you want to isolate the noise i would recommend taking the belt off and running the engine the water pump on a 2.4 is chain driven so the car will not over heat it will set a light for the charging system but will go away once you put the belt back on, if the noise goes away with the belt off spin all the pullys and see where the noise is coming from , but if the noise still there with the belt off then its a different problem.

@@MTG6.2 Excellent. God bless. Thank u

Why didn’t you remove the tire It would be easier
