90 accord fan belt adjustment newbie helP!!!

[90accordna]

hey i just bought my car not too long ago and love the accord even though it has 200,000 miles on it lol. but just recently when i start the car in the cold it squeels a little bit for two seconds. then today when i started the engine i put the AC on and it squeeled pretty loud! it scared the crap out of me! i dont have much money and i THINK my fan belt may need adjusting.

after the car warms up and i turn on the A/C it doesnt make the sound anymore, or it makes it really quiet. can someone please tell me in detail how to do it and with pictures?

I did a search and read some stuff about changing the A/C belt but i have NO idea what any of those things were he was talking about. please help! thanks!!!!

If you don't know what they are, you prob. will need a shop to do them. You have 2 accessory belts. A haynes or chiltons will tell you how to change them.

yes.. go buy a haynes manual at least.. it will save you from a lot of ridicule (mainly from me) if you ask a lot of really easy questions you can find in the manual..
