I've had the new accessory (serpintine) belt laying in my trunk for about 2 months now, so it's time to finally do this. Where do I ge the bolt from that fits the tensioner to release the belt?

It's an 8mm bolt folks

Just bought a pack of three at Lowes Hardware.
Get one that's long enough...about 2.5 inches long (make sure it's threaded all the way up to the head).

It is realy easy to actually do the job. once the bold opens the tensioner, it's like 5 minutes... just can't find right bolt ?!?!?!?!

I don't think you usually have to worry about that with metric bolts.. just get an M8 x 80.
