Subject:      fan belt tightening

I checked the tightening of my fan belts just now. The one going to the AC compressor is definitely looser than the other two. One is rather tight and the 2nd is in between. I think the two looser ones need some muscle. Can I do this alone or should a friend help?

"If it feels loose it is" someone said. It is raining now so the first sign of sunshine I plan to tighten them. Are there instructions in the green Bentley book?

Will I need a crow bar? Any suggestions? This will be the first attempt for me to go under my hood. I've done it 40 year ago in shop classes at school on old cars that were simple in those days, so I guess I can manage now but some advice from you experienced will help guide me.

William
