This is my first time posting on the site, so bare with me.

I have a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer LS, and earlier today I was working on tightening my serpentine belt when I accidentally broke the bolt that holds on the tensioner pulley. There is not enough room to get a drill down into the space to get the broken bolt out, so how would I go about removing parts to get at the broken bolt?

I think that the power steering pump/pulley may need to be removed, but I'm not sure if that's the case, or even how to take those parts out. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

You can tighten your belt(it's self adjusting) can you post any pics?You mite get a right angle drill in there.Is there enough to put vise grip on it?

Did you break a bolt that holds your tensioner assembly in place, or did you break the bolt that keeps the pulley on the assembly?

If you broke the pulley to tensioner bolt, it might be easier to just replace the whole tensioner.

If you broke the bolt off in the block ,these will help.'' Angle Drill Attachments''

And you don't have to loosen or tighten anything for the tensioner, its on a spring
