    Default belt tensioner bolt removal problems?

    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
    2015 rts-white pearl- mods- '16 F3 fat 6 chrome wheels,
    and some little stuff. setback utopia backrest, baja ron
    sway bar, oem adj. air deflectors, marlin gps compass,
    lamonster fbb foot pegs[modified brackets], lamonts
    vibration damper, rock guard, and side case stiffener kit,
    . brp comfort seat. , fomozas and
    altimax, magic mirror mts, and wide mirrors.

    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.
