          To tighten it just crack all the bolts loose on you alternator, a 14mm up top and 12mm i believe on the bottom and two 10's on the front bottom but the right one you barely loosen and the other you tighten where the belt is where you want it. A half inch of play is about right. Then tight the other three back up.

            It will squeal if it's too tight as well... and do damage to the alternator.

            I believe you should have about an inch of play in the belt. Double check that with a manual.

              i had the same problem on my f22a1 an i changed both belts and about two days later the noise came back! so i looked closer at what it could be and in the end it turned out to be that the plastic cover to the timing belt was bent and it was scratching on one of the belts , so i cut a piece of it out and now it doesnt make a peep ... =)

                Does it only do it when it's cold? Tighten it making sure it has a little play, that should do it. Check the other belts too.

                  sometimes, as a result of an overtightened belt over a long period of time, the bearings inside of the alternator wear out and create the same type of noise. it seems to me like you got so pissed at the noise, you just tightened and tightened. I would look into either a rebuild kit or a refurbished alternator my man.

                    along with an eventual failure of your alternator.
