Tensioning AC belt on V-belt Defenders..

[LRNAD90]

Okay, I feel like an idiot even asking this. Seems like such a simple thing. I know how to access the bolt holding the tensioner pully in position, but I can't seem to figure out a way to put tension on the belt to then tighten the pulley position. I can't seem to find the right place to put a bar to leverage it. What the heck am I missing?

Getting tired of listening to the chirping/squealing of the belt, ready to cut the damn thing off and deal with it in the spring when AC may be wanted again..

It’s so simple, I have done it. The video is on a gens but the same principle applies.

Thanks for your reply rocky, but that appears to be a serpentine style belt with a spring/auto tensioner. I have the traditional multi v-belt setup, one for the alternator, one for the power steering, one for the AC compressor...
