Belt realignment , Help please!

[finers]

After a bit of spirited driving yesterday i noticed a skreaching sound coming fromt the engine bay exactly like a noise the fan belt would mkae when slipping, i noticed that one of the belts needs to be realigned and looks like it may come off if i don't sort it, have the car jacketed up and any help would be highly apreciated.

Looks like i need to relase the tension on the belt, realign it and tighten it backup. before i go messing at it would be great if i could get pointers.


Belt at top is off the grooves.

14 spanner to loosen the pully, and then a 14 socket and a long extension and loosen the tensioner

Anyone know what torque the tensioner should be tightened to?
