Power Steering - Loose Belt - squeaks

Hello,

This is probably the worst post I have ever had to make. It is -30 F up here in Alaska right now and my power steering belt is loose. I can see two bolts that I believe need to be loosened in order for me to adjust the belt tightness. Was just wondering if anyone might happen to know exactly what bolts need to be loosened in order for me to tighten up that belt. I need to run outside, loosen one bolt and then go warm up. haha Anyways I can see one bolt on the adjusting arm slot, but Im not sure what other bolt needs to be loosened. Sorry for the dumb post. If I had a garage it would be no problem at all. Just want to run out with the right tools and do the job as fast as I can, then run inside to warm up. haha.

Tyson

I believe the other bolt is the bolt on the Idler arm pulley (loosen this one before adjusting), think it was a 19mm, dont forget to tighten it before you start the engine. Good luck!
