Default AC belt help

Just bought a 97 accord 4 cyl. 2.4 liter, non vtech. The AC belt squeals and is obviously too loose, but I cannot find the adjustment for it. Any help would be appreciated.

Best advice I can give you is get a Helms, best 25 bucks you can spend.

lol 2.4 liter. I assume that's at typo. It should be the same as mines. You loosen up the 14 mm size through bolt at the top. Loosen up the 12mm size nut that runs through the adjuster bolt. It points in the same direction as the 14 mm. Then tighten the 10mm bolt that runs perpindicular through the bolt that the 12mm nut goes through. This will pull the belt tighter. You basically want it tight enough to where on the longest side of it you can twist it and it doesn't turn more than 90 degrees. Then tighten back up the 14mm and 12mm again. The 12mm doesn't really need to be that tight, it's the 14mm that you tighten down decently.
