Default snapped a/c tensioner mount - help

Hi guys,

I have a bit of a problem, the rod that goes through one of the a/c pulleys has snapped.

Is it as simple as sourcing a new pulley with the mount on and bolting it back in?

Can i simply remove the tensioning setup and run the car without an a/c belt until I can get it fixed? Pic...

Yeah a bit of a fail from me, lesson learned!

Thank you for the response, do you know anywhere I can get one from new online? Or best to contact a breaker?

undo the bottom nut and tension the belt with a lever then tighten up the nut and it will be fine fella, replacments are about £15 so not too bad,.

Thanks lads, the help is much appreciated.

That will teach me not to jump into things without researching them a bit more!
