I have a 2000 Civic Si. When I start my car I hear a squealing sound
from the engine bay. Using a bit of water I have determined that my A/
C condenser belt must be loose or glazed or whatever. The noise stops
for about 30 seconds when I squirt some water on the belt that was
running over the condenser pulley. So with that said, here are my
questions:

1) Is a loose or glazed condenser belt the proper diagnosis?

2) I noticed that the adjusting bolt and the pivot bolt seem very
difficult to reach. I can't even get my hand in there to put a wrench
on the adjusting bolt lock nut.. . and there is about 1/2 inch between
the pivot bolt and the metal inner fender. What is the best way to
make this adjustment without removing the power steering pump?

3) Is this one of those cases where if you have to tighten the old
belt, that you are better off just replacing it? My car has 68K miles
and is still on the original timing belt. I'll probably do the timing
belt in the Spring (due to car age, not mileage), and I know they
usually replace the accessory belts at the same time. But this
squealing noise drives me crazy! Fortunately it does dissipate when
the engine warms up.

Any help you guys can offer, especially WRT #2 would be great. Thanks
in advance.
