WOO HOO!! Got that damn bracket out without having to remove the timing chain cover...oh man, it was a journey! I actually had to cut a slit in the fender to be able to reach the bolt.

there's the blasted bracket! notice at the left, its missing a piece that holds the other knub of the tensioner actuator...the primary reason the belt kept getting eaten..

 

Its the tensioner actuator bracket: part # 10162152

in case someone searches the forum in the future

 

the bolt part number, I'd have to get from the GM dealership, but I'll just gmpartsdirect everything! :-D

 

here's the pic of the bolt

Notice the hole in the bolt? I had to drill through the whole and use an extractor because the damn torx bit destroyed the entire bolt at first

Good job. :biggrin: I assume the slot was in the inner fender panel. It's made to cut. I have a 2 1/2 hole in mine to change cams. :lol:

 

Do what you gotta do. These cars are a journey all the time. :sad:
