If your belt is making noise and you think it is loose, forget it,you brobably need a new belt. serpentine belts use the ribbed and flat side to turn all of the accesories and is tensioned automaticaly
by the tensioner that can lose tension. If the belt makes noise,check for glazed areas on the flat side and missing or dry
ribs on the underside. If you think the tensioner is bad, replace it and also replace the belt and check for pully alingment. most often the belt will wear out befor the tensioner.with the belt off check any idler pullys, make sure they spin freely

They have a self tightening pully. If its too loose you may need a new belt or a new spring tensioner in the pully.

Get a new belt and tensioner. If your belt squeaks check to see if your fan clutch is not stuck.

take 1/2" BAR BREAKER and put it on the tensioner, turn it. one way will tighten it, the other way will loosen it.

One pulley(wheel) is only for the tension. if its loose the spring might be weak, you may have to buy another one.
