Ive got an 04 XLT 5.4l. Replacing idler and tension pulleys. Was installing grooved tensioner pulley on the driver side. Bolt was pretty tight but there was still wiggle in the pulley, so I proceeded to tighten it more. So much so that I sheared the bolt off. I dont think theres enough room between the bolt and radiator to get a drill in there to drill it out. Is there a way to get it out without having to unbolt and lift the entire engine? Is it possible to get to it through the front by removing the fan, radiator, and grille? Is it possible to get to it without doing any of these things at all? Does anyone have experience with this? Any help at all is very appreciated..
