Hello,
There is only going to be one tensioner. They must be asking about the Idler pulley. I attached a pic of the tensioner. As for the bolts, If your speaking about the head gasket bolts then yes you should replace them but if you're speaking about the tensioner bolts then no there is not a need to replace those unless they are damaged.
