93 sunbird serp belt tensioner

Hi all,

I wonder if someone could tell me if the bolt holding the serp tensioner is left or right hand thread?

pretty sure its right hand.

and Welcome to AF!

Thank you for the welcome and the answer. I cannot tell you how stubburn and tough that bolt is to get to and off. I have liquid wrenched, tapped, heated, flash cooled and put the bottle jack under the socket wrench and lifted the car up without even a groan from that bolt.

Well if righty doesnt work, you surly could try the other way.
Might be some Loc Tight on it to keep it from getting loose.

The only left hand threads i have found on autos were lug nuts and they had a L stamped in the stud.
I am suprised it didn't break if it is this tight. Use a 1/2 breaker bar and a impact socket. Bump it a strong pull will break it. Try a 3/8 impact wrench.
Are you on the bolt some studs are welded on for loosening the belt as they are welded they don't turn. I really think this is the case.
