I would like to replace the compressor belt. The serpentine belt has already been removed, but I cannot see how to tighten/loosen the compressor belt tension. Coult it be that the a/c clutch pulley must be removed??? The harmonic balancer on the engine (3.2) has a "dual" pulley. The serpentine belt is driven by the front section and the compressor belt is all by itself, using the rear pulley. I cannot see any adjustment to loosen the a/c belt.!!!???
Thanks for any help you can give me.
