I think I broke a bolt that hold the tension pulley to the engine (I was replacing the serpentine belt after replacing the alternator). How do I replace that bolt?

Why do you think you broke the bolt?

If you want the exact bolt you will need to goto the dealer for it, or you can take the broken one and goto your local parts store, match up threads, make sure it is a Grade 8 bolt.

Since it is the Pulley though you can just purchase the Tensioner Assembly and replace the whole thing.
