Re: stripped out tensioner bolt
My dad was thinking about getting a longer bolt to put in the hole but I'm not liking the idea much...plus it seems like a whole lot of meat would be taken out if i did the helicoil route.....I'm starting to think about taking it to a machine shop....any ideas or reassurance would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: stripped out tensioner bolt
Dang after a month its still not done??? This is like a twenty minute job, match the bolt up to a helicoil kit, don't drill any farther or use a longer bolt. Thats just dumb, just make sure you do not over tirghten the bolt. If you over tighten it, you will have the same issue.
