I just had my surpintine belt change about 4 or 5 months ago. Well, it started squealing last night but I didn't think anything until today all day its been doing it. When I got home the pulley had broken off now I'm trying to get it on and I need to know how to tighten the pulley so it takes the slack away

If you are refering to the belt tensionier, it is an automatic tensionier that adjusts itself. if it has come apart, it needs replaced.

Let me know if you have other quesitons.
