606 belt tensioner bolt hole stripped
My father has a 99 E300 and today I noticed the belt tensioner is about to fall out. I knew the threads were partially stripped out and would have to deal with this eventually. Now is the time. Judging from the wear marks on the fan blades its been like this a while. Lucky I caught it before it came completely out. What is the best approach to this? Drill it out and use either a time-sert or a helicoil? If so, what size is the bolt? Or, would it be better or easier to just pull the cover and replace it?
