find the tentioner pulley.....loosen the bolt for it [ 14mm socket ] Take the plastic pan off the bottom of the engine bay [10mm socket ] .....find the tentioner [ 12mm socket ] tighten it till the belt only has 1/2 inch play....test it at the longest span of belt . Tighten up the pulley bolt......bingo !!!!! your done

 

sounds very simple booger! ima try it right after the game..... go lakers!

 

worked like a charm... thanks fellas

 

The only pain in the whole process is removing the plastic tray to get at the bottom bolt. You can just cut an opening in the plastic (or remove it altogether) to make adjusting the belt even easier.
