Best Answer

Loosen the upper and lower alternator mounting bolts.

Turn the adjustment bolt on the lower left-hand side of the alternator.

You should only be able to bend the belt 90 degrees at its longest run, in the middle.

When done adjusting, tighten the upper and lower alternator mounting bolts.

How do you adjust the alternator belt in a 1997 Honda Accord to make it stop squealing even when it seems to be tight enough?

Because the alternator puts a load on the engine of several horsepower, the belt must be very tight. However, if it is too tight, the bearings of the alternator shaft will wear out quickly. To tension the belt properly, adjust until there is about 1/2 inch of play in the center of the longest span. If this does not stop the squealing, the belt may have been glazed from being too loose, and needs to be replaced.

How do you replace an alternator belt on a 1990 Honda Accord?

In order to take off the existing alternator belt you must take off the power steering belt first. For each belt (the alternator belt and the power steering belt) you will need to loosen a couple of bolts that hold the belts tight. There is also a bolt used to adjust the belt tension that you must adjust. I would purchase a CHILTON or HAYNES maintenance manual from an auto parts store or a book store. It will explain this very well and it has pictures.
