Just had my belts changed. sometimes they squeel... soemtimes they dont. After speeding up and changing to about 4th... it goes away. Are they just loose? Should i just tighten them a little? experts please

 

Check the tension on the belts. Sounds like they might be a bit loose

Should be about 1/4 inch of deflection, if you were to press down or pull up on the belt, shouldn't move more than about 1/4 inch. Also, if you twist the belt, should not be able to twist to 90 degrees. That's how I did mine, and have no problems. Changed mine this past Monday.

 

^^^Agreed, I change belts everyday of the week. I usually just twist it like said above

 

thanks guys just tightened my belts this morning, no squeeling.

 

how do you tighten the belts?? I previously had my belts squeaking when the cold weather kicked in
