Either get a new belt, or take some sandpaper and lightly sand your pullies. Thank you for the advice. The recommendations have been printed out and will be provided to my mechanics at a future appointment. The recommendation worked and because I forgot to buy a new belt, I simply "roughed" it up a little bit with the same scouring pad and the squeaking has stopped.
The mechanics of football are simple. You need to turn the gears and make sure the bolts are tightened properly.
there is no serpentine belt on an '86. there is a v-belt and a timing belt. the v-belt is tightened by moving the alternator. the timing belt is tightened by rotating the inner core of the tensioner. the inner core is eccentricly mounted, i.e. if you rotate it, the tensioner moves. there is a serpentine belt alond with two independent belts.
A rubber belt that goes around all pulleys & has idlers as tensioners. On cars there are either v belts (belts shaped like a "v" that are tightened by moving accessories) or serpentine, which is usually one ribbed belt with idlers.
There is no idle vacuum line on P/S. I don't know how you tightened a serpentine belt when their is no provision for doing that. The tension is controlled by the idler tension pulley. If you are referring to a normal drive belt, then set the deflection at mid point of the belt to approximately 1/4". Check with Chrysler for the exact specs on deflection.
The tension on a 1988 Ford F150 can be loosened by adjusting the belt tensioner. The retaining bolt is loosened, the tensioner shifted slightly, and tightened down.
Powe stering belt (aka serpentine belt) is tightened with a belt tensioner. A new tensioner is needed if the belt is loose or a new belt
The serpentine belt you can look at the diagram in your engine compartment for actual routing. The tensioner mounts to the left side of the engine. You need to unbolt the whole assembly. Actually, the belt can be loosened by tightening the bolt of the tensioner pulley. When fully tightened, the pulley will act as a swivel.
google daewoo nubira fan belt & select "images", there you will see a diagram of how it goes.
The 1989 Toyota Corolla serpentine belt can be tightened or loosen with the tensioner pulley. Pry to the left on the tensioner pulley until the belt is tight. Tighten the tensioner pulley.
It is a tool mechanics use to separate the ball joint from the bracket or steering knuckle. The ball joint stud is tightened into a hole that is tapered (morse taper). Removing the nut will not separate it without force.
Alternator or serpentine belt (depending on what kind of car it is) is loose or frayed and should be tightened or replaced, most 2007's should have an automatic tensioner so it probably needs to be replaced.
The past tense of "tighten" is "tightened."
