i think you are not suppose to take the bolt off.. just loosen it lil bit to adjust

Are you replacing the tensioner also?

Same thing happened to me a while back. I stripped that tensioner bolt pretty bad.

I used this Bolt-Out kit by Craftsman. It worked really great w/ an extended ratchet.

You'll need to buy a new bolt though.

rgaray is right.and on mine when i tried to take the new bolt out it wouldnt , due to a washer not being able to fit theough the hole for the bolt in the timing belt cover.so take the cover off then get the craftsman kit(is very very veryyyyyy helpful) and take the bitch off and replace .
