It has a bolt at the center of it' BE AWARE that this bolt is reversed threaded, that means the direction normally used (right, is counter clockwise) to loosen , and left is "clockwise"to tighten, therefor when removing the bolt you go in the direction of tightening to remove it, the reason for this application is that the bolt is used to releive the tension on the serpentene belt to take it off for replacement.
