Avensis Cam Belt Tensioner

[maverick121]

i have rounded the bolt head on the cam tensioner i assume it the bolt in the middle of the wheel is the adjuster bolt it is the 1.8 engine 99 same as the carina e i am chnging the water pump and was going to change the belt its not due for another 10k but was thinking do it any way how can i ge tthe tensioner loose

could i gring the head off and would the remains of the stud come out easy?

also how do you adjust the air con belt that goes to the crank pulley

thanks

Hi Rob, sounds like you are getting into a mess with that job, :o you may be able to get the head of the bolt off but you really need a set of Irwin Bolt Grip sockets.
