 I'll try the PB, and I also got a piece of real pipe.  The conduit I had that use as a tensioner pulley extension bent like a pretzel.
 
 Does that nut in the pic look ok?  I am worried maybe I chiseled too much, and damaged the threads, and it will therefore have to be drilled off.
 
 Thanks again.

 Part of DIYing is because one enjoys working on cars, or wants to save a few bucks.
Looks like you just found out why mechanics makes the big bucks and why it will cost more to do it yourself if you don't have a good set of tools already.
Good Luck with the rest of the project, and perhaps maybe the next time you'll think twice before starting a project like this.
