there is no need to drive car for a while and then reset the t-belt if it was adjusted properly when installed
loosen the 14 mm adjuster nut,, get a 19mm socket. long extension and a rachet,, once nut is loose,, turn the crank counter clock wise ( toward frt of car) to remove the slack , tighten adjuster nut and u are done ..
