Easy fix for Squeaky / Squealing Belt

[bronsin]

Awesome!

Squeeking belts are a plague on the ECHO and the Yaris as they get older. And as you found out, taking them to a shop doesnt fix the problem.

One thing:

I dont understand how it works!

CAn you explain some more? How do you use the adjuster?

Thanks!

Then you and the technician are failing to do it correctly or you have another problem. Their are hundreds of thousands of yari around the world that do not squeak.

Well look at it this way. With a screw adjustment you turn the screw a little bit each time until the squeel goes away. So you get precisely the tension you need to make the noise go away and no more.

With the pry method who knows how much over tension you have created?

Also I recommend putting the L brackets out in the rain till they rust real good. Then paint them with Rust Converter instead of painting them. Rust Converter converts the rust into something that will NEVER rust.
