for every dumb @$$ little thing that breaks or even big thing that breaks there is a way to fix it some way or another. especially on an n-body, too much crap breaks too often... lol.

yeah, but I can't figure out how you broke your freaking tensioner.. it's supposed to withstand some wrenching because the assembly moves. did you try torquing the wrong direction? what directions were these from; what were you doing?

^ wouldn't torqueing the wrong direction be loosening it?
Just find someone with an easyout and hopefully that works.

no no no... The tensioner is fine, the threads where the bolt screws into the motor broke. there's nothing wrong with the tensioner other than it can't be attatched to the car now cause the bolt won't tighten.
