Q: Can a bolt that holds the tensioner on be fixed without being too expensive?
I was changing the thermostat and while removing the bolt that holds the tensioner on, it was hard to turn out but it came. While putting the tensioner back on, the bolt got tight and broke off at the head of the bolt. Is this goin to be expensive to fix? Thank you. 2003 Jeep Libery 3.7L
