Tensioner Replacement

[GMTK]

While replacing my power steering pump yesterday the tensioner broke where you insert a breakerbar. Gonna order a new one. I can't find anything in the shop manual about replacing the tensioner. Is it as simple as just one bolt?

yes

There may be a pin behind it to keep it fm rotating on that single bolt so be cognizant when reinstalling to get it all lined up correctly

I just ordered a new one as my current one has more of a "harsh bearing" noise than the idler when listened to using mechanic stethoscope.

you can get replacement idler pulleys by themselves, however in most cases its nearly the same cost.
