I am planning on replacing my idler pulley, tensioner and alternator tomorrow and was wondering if I need to use any type of Lock Tite or anti-seize on any of the bolts.

This seems like a fairly easy project; is there anything I should watch out for or be aware of before I dive in?
 






You don't have to use anti seize on the bolt, but you can if you want. I don't...
 






You could use the Blue Loc Tite, I wouldn't use the Red. I did the same job and used no Loc Tite as the gentlemen stated before me. However, the Loc Tite is definitely cheap insurance.
