420SEL A/C Belt Loose

What's the best way to adjust the A/C belt pulley? I put it on using hand tension while someone else tightened the bolt, but it's squealing a little on takeoff from idle.

Is there a special tool or trick?

Just slip a wrench over the pulley bracket just behind the pulley, tension the belt, hold while tightening the nut. There is a flat spot on the braket for just this purpose.
