For those of you who recently changed out your alternator

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if replacement alts come with the tensioner bolt or do you reuse the one that came factory? I ask because I sheared mine off two week ago, bought a universal one that I found did not fit, bought an OEM one but found that the universal had messed up the threads on the block it threads into.

I got some tension on the belt but definitely see that if I ever need to adjust it again I'll need to replace that little block it threads into as well the bolt again, I'm hoping that won't be needed until I replace the alt though (God willing, many years from now) but will do so if I need to on the off chance I need to adjust again.

Again my question is, do replacement alts come with the bolt hardware or do you normally reuse what Toyota put on your car?

I replaced mine a month ago with an Ultima reman from O’Reilly’s and it didn’t come with any hardware so I reused the factory one.
