Re: Tightening quealing serpentine belt question.
Just did this a few days ago. If you have a 96 and up engine, you loosen the bolt on the idler pulley just enough to allow it to slide. If it is loosened a bit more, it doesn't matter really. Adjust it to where it needs to be. You will notice that when you tighten up the idler pulley bolt the pulley will have sagged a little and straighten up making the belt tighter. This is normal. The bottom line is that if you use the belt tension tool on it you will be able to have it right anyway.
