There are five bolts that need to be loosened to
slacken the belt. Two are allen head bolts that the
compressor pivots on. Two more are hold-down nuts that
lock the compressor into position on the bracket. The
last is an adjusting bolt that goes through the top of
the bracket and threads into the front hold-down bolt.
Loosen the pivot bolts and the hold-down nuts, then
loosen the adustment bolt and slacken the belt. Try
not to remove the adjustment bolt entirely, its a pain
to re-install.
