What do you use as a replacement? It’s a captive nut on the end of the bolt. Should i use a crown nut and cotter pin?Death wheel aka cutoff wheel
Sorry two nuts. One crown or one nyloc ? And then a hex for adjustment?What do you use as a replacement? It’s a captive nut on the end of the bolt. Should i use a crown nut and cotter pin?

Thank you for the help@OGBeno sent the part numbers. You can also find schematics on PartSouq. If they don't have the part, run the part number on Amayama, and it will list alternatives. All are free, public tools online.
Regarding removal, that's easy. Just zip wheel it off.
If you're really, really desperate and need to drive immediately, just get some threaded rod from Home Depot and a few nuts. But that's temporary and will bend quickly. It's not tempered the same.
You could also look on McMaster Carr for the same length bolt and have something tomorrow. Saving the idler pulley portion. That will require measuring.
