      Hi again, same 1997 Honda Accord LX 4 cyl, 2.2L SOHC (160k Miles)

      One of the two belts that drive the accessories on this car is squeaking, problem is, there is no visible cracks at all on either of them. Could they possibly be loose? If so how do i tighten them? And how much?

        Yeah, it is most likely loose. Just tighten it a little bit.

          And does anyone know exactly how to tighten them? There are two, and they each only go around 2 things. If anyone knows please let me know.

              You tighten the power steering belt by loosening the fasteners and using a 1/2″ breaker bar or ratchet to tension the belt. For the alternator AC, you need to loosen the the fasteners that hold the alternator in place and then crank on the 10mm tensioner bolt. Don’t go too tight, you probably just need a couple of turns to get the tension right.
