Howto - Belt tightening tips
From: Dale Olson (Dale_Olson at dell.com)
I remove the top water pump bolt and install a 3" bolt and use a BF
screw driver as lever. It's kind of hard to describe how to position
the screw driver but the long bolt acts the fulcrum point. Be sure to
have "all" the PS bolts loose. I take out #1 plug and disconnect the
coolant sensor wire to get at the nut on the backside of the PS pump
bracket. After I get the belt tight I tighten the bolt on the
top/front and then the others. Now reinstall plug, sensor wire and WP
bolt.
