Hello and welcome to Just answer.com, Super mechanic here. About your vehicle.

The AC belt tensioner has a bolt on the bottom that you can get from under the car. When the nut in the front of the tensioner pulley is loosened then you turn the bolt on the bottom counter clock wise and the pulley will allow the belt to get loose.

  2. Apply 100 N (22 lbs.) force to the back and midway portion of the belt between the pulleys as shown in the illustration, measure the amount of deflection with a tension gauge.

CAUTION:

  1. When Installing the V-ribbed belt, check that the V-ribs are properly aligned
  2. If noise or slippage is detected, check the belt for wear, damage, or breakage on the pulley contact surface, and check the pulley for scoring. Also check the amount that the belt is deflected.

  3. When adjusting a belt which has been used or newly installed, after 5 minutes or more of operation, refer to the standard value indicated under "Used" in the above table.
  4. Refer to the standard value indicated under "inspection " for periodic inspections.

TYPE B TENSION GAUGE

  1. When measuring, turn the reset button in the direction of the arrow and set the gauge needle to the RESET position.
  2. If the tension gauge is removed from the belt, the needle will still indicate the tension. Read the tension value after removing the gauge.
