Squealing/chirping coming from either the drive belt or pulley. ** SOLVED**

I thought I would post this for anyone having a similar problem. I had squealing/chirping coming from either the drive belt or pulley and started checking each pulley with my homemade stethoscope, but before I started diagnosing each pulley I thought I would try putting a little water on the drive belt to see if that was causing the noise. After dribbling a little water on the belt the sound went away, so removed my belt and reinstalled the OEM belt that I saved and it has been running really quiet. Thought maybe that tip would save someone a little time diagnosing it.

 

Interesting. I just started getting a squeak. Just on startup then it disappears. Hmm. Maybe Ill give this a shot. How difficult is it to remove a belt?
