Timing Belt Service Problems - Stripped Tensioner Pulley Bolt
I was changing the timing belt in my '97 850 t5 and low and behold I stripped the T45 bolt that holds the tensioner pulley. Stripped bolts on say a thermostat unit are not so bad because you can take a drill to it; This bolt is at the wrong angle however. Any tips on how to get this bolt out?

ugh. See if you can find a bolt extractor kit (HarborFreight/Autozone/Sears etc may have something). You may need to hammer in a hex or similar that is slightly larger than the T45 - which may require removing parts to make some working room.. Did you try and prep the bolt with PB Blaster or heat to crack it?
