Thanks guys! I was questioning it because I was doing the lefty loosey and that puppy was not budging and I starting thinking counter-clockwise threaded. I sure didn't want to find out the hard way if it was. I tried a few times when I finally got it to break loose. I never changed the whole tensioner so that has been on there since '01.
Even though I've worked on a lot of stuff and had some some real booger situations, one does get gun shy every now and then when it comes to turning old bolts.
Having a strange problem lately so I'm going to post a new thread. For everyone tomorrow.
