i cant adj the axel because on the right side the derailure mount is in the way so when you pull back it prevents it from going all the way back do you know if the bearing in these tensioners come off the bolt i already knocked the bolt out but dont want to tamper with bearing untill i get answer whether it comes off bolt or not because i had an idea to go to home depot and buy a another bolt to go through

You can take the wheel apart (just remember what is what) I'd suggest buying a grade 5 or better bolt for your chain tensioner wheel..
