If I didnt tighten the alternator belt bolt all the way would that be the reason my car squeals something fierce when I start it after it has sat and gotten cold and when it rains? This is hardcore loud ass squealing...

Hey guys. My belts squeek like crazy, but only for about the first 5-10 seconds of running the car, after that it's fine, but it annoys me a lot...
I checked the belt and it's not cracked at all and it's on there very tight. Sould I check the tensioner, or buy a new belt? I doubt the guy before me bought a new one recently, but there are no obvious defects.
What do you gusy think? :)
Thanks!
Sorry to bring this back up but I am going to change the belts in the next couple of weeks on Baby G and I was wondering if anyone knew the part #'s for them on rockauto. Thanks.
This thread is old, but I'd like to point out you should loosen the nut holding the tension pulley in when removing the outer belt. This way it has an easier time sliding back and forth when adjusting the tension to remove the belt. I did not loosen it by mistake and sheared the bolt that adjusted the tension. Had to go to a junkyard, find a broken 8g, and rip the part out. Hope this saves some people the headache I went through. Here's the bolt I'm talking about:

The V6 has a tensioner pulley on the alty belt that slides in a slot in a bracket. It is tensioned by a long bolt. Tried to change the belt today, loosened the pulley after a while, enough to get the belt on, tried tightening the bolt back up and broke it clean off. Don't laugh! In stead of a 10 minute fix, I now have no car! Any ideas?
does anyone know what are the proper torque specs for the power steering belt? meaning the bolt where u loosen the tension?
i can't find it on the manual i downloaded from here :/
One thing I'd add to this thread: disconnect your negative battery cable. I know it should really be done for all work, but particularly so for this one since you're working near the alternator.
Also, I didn't remove the wheel or the inner fender.
what is the tension on the belts? i havent found them yet im still searching though.
