I have a similar problem, however, my '92 Accord is an LX, so it also has A/C. When I removed the tensioner bolt from the Alternator, the bolt was bent. I had to remove the whole mechanism. I was unable to get an OEM replacement bolt and had to have one custom machine. Do you have an exploded view showing the alternator and how the adjustment mechanism is reinstalled? It was very difficult to see when I removed it, which I would no have done if the bolt had not been bent. It was very difficult to remove the nut. New bolt works great! Also, should thread lock be applied. My instruction manual calls for it but is unclear about this bolt. Know you probably don't get many women doing their own repairs. I've done all the repairs on this Accord, since I got it, 20 years ago. Don't plan to get a newer vehicle, because of the money it saves me in shop charges, as a senior citizen! Really appreciate the help from all of you guys. Just found your site, it seems great, just like Honda Tech. Thanks so much!
