Tensioner Pulley is backwards, idler pulley is standard.

Hey thanks guys for the help. i know its wanting to start to strip out. do the new pulleys usually come with a new bolt or do i have to try to find another one??

Nope, the new pulley's are just a pulley, o and just get two tensioner pulley's at the parts store, they'll give you a composite pulley for the idler and it won't last long (ask me how I figured that out) and the tensioner and idler are the same size.
