that's sorta what i thought. i'll give nissan a call to see what they charge for such a thing. does anyone have an exploded drawing of what holds that piece on? is it just that one bolt? (lock bolt). i was thinking about taking it off and possibly drilling out the broken bolt. but if there's nothing involved with just changing it, i'm game for that as well.
thanks

so i just got off the phone with Nissan. To buy that as a new assembly......ready for this one..........$106!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you do not really need it ..

just remove the adjuster and use a nut and bolt thru the alt tab and brackett..

and pry the alt with a crow bar to get it into position ..

awesome.....i wasn't sure if i could do that or not. i found someone with a few of these trucks "lying" around, the only thing is, they are 4cyl engines. i'm not sure if they used the same adjuster or not. i believe that the alternator for those engines are on the right hand side of the engine.
