How to Tighten AC belt?
Does anyone have a good technique for tightening the ac belt? It's tough to push the tension pulley over and lock it down. I hate to put a pry bar on it.

There are two nuts/bolts to loosen/tighten one at the pivot and one at the end of the arm (I think both are 12mm). Loosen both and use a wrench (14mm??) on the wrench flats behind the nut/bolt at the pivot, while holding that one tighten the other end and then tighten the pivot.

I believe it's a 17mm. I tighten the nut that pivots first followed by the center nut.

Thanks for the tips. I'm waiting for a new pulley and I don't want to mess it up when I do the tightening.

And as the picture shows, it is definately a 17mm used to put tension on it not a 14 like I guessed.
