Hello,

I recently changed the Timing Belt, Water Pump & two Pulleys. In attempting to remove the T45 Idler Bushing bolt I snapped the tool off. The second try with a new tool resulted in rounding the shallow star bolt head. O.K., the idler arm appears to move freely (the bushing I couldn't lubricate) but without its removal I cannot hold/see the bolt (head) that secures the pulley nut as the bolt head resides behind the idler arm I can't remove. This concerns me as the movement of the belt will tend to loosen rather than tighten this nut. I've driven 600 miles so far & torque remains low at about 10 ft-lbs before the bolt & nut turn together. Can anyone provide a picture of what the head of this bolt looks like so I can make a tool to hold onto it from behind? Is it another torx bolt or a hex head? If no picture can you advise type & size?

Thanks greatly,
Bob
