94 Ford Bronco, stripped idler pulley bolt

Stripped my idler pulley bolt, watch me solve the problem and replace it along with a new idler pulley. This is a 94 Ford Bronco with the 351w engine.
I couldn't find exact torque specs for this bolt, but similar engines say 15-22 foot lbs is where it should be.

I used blaster about 10 times over a couple hours to loosen a tight pulley bolt on my 95 bronco, even in the back of the pulley.
I see how you can strip it as the T-50 doesn't quite fit all the way in nicely. Used a long pipe as a breaker bar. The blaster can also clean the bolt up after removal.

[@obsgarage6682]

sammy foister I moved recently. Let me check my stash in the basement. I may have them still.

[@fetchshockthoughtseize8657]

Same thing happened to my truck and I can't get it off

[@obsgarage6682]

Is it plastic or metal? Should break easily if plastic. If metal maybe the nut welding trick would work?

[@fetchshockthoughtseize8657]

@@obsgarage6682 got it off using the wrath of God lol

[@kickenchicken9645]

all he had to do was remove the main bolt holding the bracket & the hole thing would come off so he could get the bolt out replace bolt & pulley & put all back on
u dont need to remove nothing but that

[@cynthiatetterton7711]
