Does anyone have any tips on setting the proper tension on the a/c belt. I can't seem to get mine to stay tight enough. These brackets s#^k!
TIA, Chris

Chris,
You should be able to adjust the belt similar
to the alternator adjustment.First tighten the nut from the tooted bolt.then tighten the back nut.to check belt tention, turn belt 90 degrees by hand adjust tention as necessary.
