BIG! ups to DPT
so ive had this freaking annoying belt squeak when i run my a/c for a while now, so i started to search the forums to see how to go about adjusting the belts to make it stop.
well after reading every thread i could find, i was convinced it was a piece of cake and went for it.
long story short i went about it all backwards and ended breaking the belt adjuster on the idler pulley
lucky for me my local subaru dealer had one on the shelf and i replaced it no problem but since i was doing everything wrong i couldn’t figure out how the Fn CRAP this belt tensioner worked!
so i AIM'd Dan and bam! he explained it to me in -stupid- and i was able to apply tension to the belt properly
so that’s my Friday! haha
P.S. Dan! i owe you bigTIME bro!
