I'm asssuming ur talking about the main drive belt that supports a/c and power steeering, if so then there is a small tensioner right there up against the belt, I forgot what size wrench u would need to tighten it, but it's right in front and it shouldn't be hard to find. I think there's pics of it in the timing belt how to section but I not for sure. Hope that helps. Peace!

Anyone have suggestions of how tight to tighten it?
It alway freaks me out when I have to do it because always it seems like I am going to put way too much pressure on the pulleys.
oh.. and i have heard that you always want to do this with the belts cold. Is that correct?

use my link below, and use the afx udp install writeup to help u w/installin belts...
it dont matta if they are cold or hot, just know u will have to retighten them if u install new belts after about a week or two due to them stretfching slightly, and possibly squeaking...
u want em about 1/2inch deflection, push on em when tightened, and they shouldnt move more than 1/2 inch.....
