How does one go about fixing a squeeky alternator pulley? I was told using WD-40 will only make it worse. Any alternatives? There's barely any room to shoot any kind of spray in there. Anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

I agree. Its the idle tensioner assembly. Get a new one at strauss for like 45 bucks. I had the same problem and replaced my belt at the same time cause I had almost 90k miles on it. DO NOT got to your dealer. They will rip you off.

Sorry guys but I'm going to disagree and say it's definitely the alternator. I can hear the squeek when I spin the alt. pulley by hand. Tensioner pulley makes no noise.
Any other suggestions how to stop the squeeking?
