I have a bearing going bad by the sounds coming from the front of my '98 GS300. Attempted to remove serpentine belt by pulling on the bolt head in the middle of the idler pulley and the bolt slipped. Could not move the idler pulley to loosen the belt.

Is the idler pulley bad? Why would the bolt rotate instead of allow for the loosening of the belt?

Have removed the belt several times. Very easy procedure.
