Ugh.. Still problems with my belt!! Pulley Problem? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Its definitely the belt. I just started up the car for lunch and back to squeally belt again! Sheesh.

Speaking of oil/grease, I sprayed some WD40 and then Liquid wrench on the bottom alternator bolt that was seized. I'm positive I DID get over spray on at least the AC compressor pulley and the OLD belt. Do you all think that may be why its squealing? Will that ever go away then? Should I buy some of that anti-belt squeal stuff at autozone? I really didn't want to buy that stuff before because I figured if your belt and engine were running normally, you shouldn't need it.

The WD40 is almost definitely your problem. You need to clean the lubricant off of all of the pulleys (the belt will have spread it to all of them) using denatured alcohol, etc. Do not use the anti squeal stuff. Also, get a new belt, as the current one is contaminated.

What belt are you using? Dayco

ummm it's lose bro. You have to pry bar it tight. Using your arms isn't going to tighten it up.

unless you're the HULK.
