Squeaking Belt - how to tighten?
I can't tell which belt it is, but one of them is slightly loose. It's creating a squeaking sound, which goes away for a second when belt dressing is applied.
Does anyone have step-by-step intructions on how to tighten it?

Most of the accessories on our engines (you didn't specify the model or trim of your car) have brackets that they can be slid back and forth on in order to tighten the accessory belts. Pretty much you crack the mounting bolts loose and lever the accessory into the desired position before tightening them again.
Another suggestion is that, maybe, one of your belts is too tight and that's why it's squeaking. Same principle to fix it, just a different direction.
