So my a/c belt has been squealing for quite awhile and now that I have time I was wondering how to tighten it. Pics would be helpful!

Thanks!

It's hard to get a pic of the pulley you need to adjust since it's kinda blocked by the chassis.
There are three pulleys the A/C Belt is running on: the Compressor Pulley, Crank Pulley, and the Tensioner Pulley.
You can spot the Tensioner pulley from looking straight down between and above the Compressor and Crank Pulley.

No traction though.

You have to loosen the tensioner pulley bolt.

Adjust the bolt up top to tighten the belt (move the pulley up).

Then tighten the tensioner bolt.

With the tensioner bolt tighten, it won't be allowed to be adjusted.
