Re: 98 TJ Serpentine Belt Adjustment Bolt
lol.
. . . I had my exhaust manifold off about 6 months ago, and had no
problem mastering the art of the idler bolt then, but over the weekend,
I finally fixed my temp. cable snag, and realized that my A/C makes the
engine squeal when on full blast, so I decided to quickly pop to hood
and tighten the belt (just like I did before). . . Impatience causes so
many problems! I completely forgot to loosen the idler bolt. I realized
it immediately after I broke the adjustment bolt.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try them out!!
