Kinja'd!!!

Took the belt guards off, loosened the locking nut on the alternator belt and adjusted it a couple turns. No more squeals.

Also finished debaging the rear hatch as much as possible.

Took me two lunch breaks and I washed the guards while I had them off.

But how will they know that it is a partial-zero emissions vehicle?

Surprised yours wasn’t seized solid with rust. So many are.

They won’t. I’ve gone incognito.

It looks pretty rusty but the belts were done less than 14k miles ago.

Just make sure you keep it lubed. I sprayed mine down every oil change to keep it minty.

Hit it with some ZEP-45. It’ll smell of oily bananas.
