Aftermarket or NOS Belt Tensioner
My belt tensioner has a crack where the breaker bar is supposed to fit in. I need a replacement but I can't find any on thirdgenresource. Does anyone know where I can get them?

I should ask, is there anyway to use the belt tensioner without a breaker bar? I won't be able to use that to get it loose since it's broken off.

At the top of the tensioner there is an opening for a 1/2 inch ratchet. Use this to pull the tensioner up. Hope this helped.

Sorry I did not know where it was broke off at. Take a crow bar and slide it under the pully. Use the bracket as the axis.

if you dont wanna spend any money you could get a nice thick washer with a 1/2 inch square opening and tack weld it in and paint it.
