haha guys dont laugh at me too much, it was an honest mistake. Last night i was replacing the AC/PS belt. As i started to tighten the tensioner back down the bolt broke in half!! MY question is about how much $ would the assembly be and how difficult is it to install? Thanks guys...

I had to replace the assembly once before I think it was like $70 for the whole assembly. Why do you need to replace the whole assembly though? You should be able to get the bolt out. When it snapped did it crack the assembly as well? To replace the whole assembly you have to take off the A/C and Power steering pump and also unbolt the alternator tensioner bracket. After that you have 5 nuts and bolts that have to be removed from the driver side of the car. once those are off it will come right off.

so you forgot to loosen the bolt that holds the tensioner pulley on didn't you?

This is a reminder to all the newbies, whenever you change the ac/ps belt, LOOSEN THE BOLT ON THE TENSIONER!!! Replacing the whole assembly bracket thing is a huge pain in the ***!!!!
