Message	I usually put new belts on when doing a 60k/120k service. It's very tough to ID which one is squealing, but it's pretty easy to ID which one is loose. Belt changes are a pain in the ass because of the power steering belt being so hard to loosen up. To tighten up the belts, get the front of the Z in the air and use jack stands for safety. Remove the lower cover and you'll see what to do to tighten them up. The 60k Tech in the Tech section covers this in good detail
