anyone find that when you went to install a belt tensioner on your ride, especially older
rt's that the rear bolt was pretty much stuck in the aluminum because of loctite and
2 dissimilar metals being connected. i had one break on me while installing the tensioner
on a friends older rt. lotta bolts going into aluminum on these machines. just wondering

I had a similar experience. I removed the floorboard mount to drill out the broken bolt and then replaced with a longer bolt and nut on the bottom - just to be sure.
