Righty Loosy....Lefty Tighty !!!
 

Confirmed that the T-50 bolt for my S/C belt idler pulley is lefthand !!

I now have one very tight bolt....actually got another 1/8th of a turn out of it...in the wrong direction. :oops:

It's finally been changed. :D

Let me be the first to tell you thanks for sparing the rest of us the trouble of a broken off bolt when we go to replace the idler...

Even though, when that time comes, I probably won't remember this... oh well...

All I have to say is:

im surpised you didnt break that T-50 torx bit

yes the Idler and the belt tensioner are the only left hand bolts on the car

Holy shit!!!! That's gonna leave a mark!

So am I, considering I used a 24" breaker bar on it. :shock:

Quality hardened tools help. :wink:
