Thanks for the quick replies, I really appreciate the great advice. And sounds like a good idea to me, will go do that right now. As a side note, because I removed the A/C compressor, there's only the pivot bolt and the tensioner bolt. There was a third bolt that attached to the compressor. Will I be ok with just these two?
