Buy a haynes manual (about $20) from your local parts store, amazon or haynes.com. This will show you how to do anything you would ever have to do to the car in a consice easy to read manual.
generally there are 2 bolts on the a/c compressor, one is a long pivot bolt, the other is the one that goes through an arc shaped slot and is used to adjust tension, loosen both (may not need to loosen pivot bolt) a small amount, then using something (maybe a piece of a 2x2) to lever the compressor out to make the belt tight, then tighten the ajdustment bolt while keeping tension on the compressor. now you can let the leverage go and tighten the pivot bolt. have fun. If you are going to use something metal to lever the a/c compressor either disconnet the battery cable OR be careful NOT to come in contact with any wires that might be live ... you can weld with strong 12V car battery!
please rate all solutions
ADJUSTMENT
Inspect the drive belt(s) every 30,000 miles or 24 months. Determine the belt tension at a point halfway between the pulleys by pressing on the belt with moderate thumb pressure. If the deflection is found to be too much or too little, perform the tension adjustments.
On some Acura models it will be necessary to work from beneath the vehicle when servicing the accessory drive belts.
Before adjusting, inspect the belt to see that it is not cracked or worn. Be sure that its surfaces are free of grease and oil. If contamination is present, belt replacement is recommended.
