Air compressor belt

No NEED to remove the rad. It does make it much easier, but just to remove it just to change the belt, thats not necessary... If your gonna redo all the belts and hoses and do a major service, then pull the rad. If just a belt, no need to remove it.

so when reinstalling a belt is there an adjustment, or how is an adjustment done, mine seems a little loose....

Take out the 2 bolts on the front of the pulley and turn the front half of the pulley to squeez the 2 halfs together. That effectivley tightens the belt. Its a pain in the azz, but thats how it goes...

Here is a link to a video I made. I hear this belt everytime I start the truck or put the truck under load. I'm sure it's the compressor belt. Is it an easy adjustment?
