    Hi,
    Lately I get loud squeal when I start engine.
    Like a belt slipping. Today I opened the hood and
    watched while engine is running. Looks to me main pulley
    which drives two belts opposite way seems wobbly. Can it
    happen(something loose?). All the belts are replaced by dealer
    couple months ago. The vehicle is 98 CRV(2.0L engine) which has been
    very reliable.
    TIA,
    Tony

    After a belt job it's not uncommon to find that either the
    power steering belt or the alternator belt weren't properly
    tensioned. Check these first.

    ====================================

    If the bolt is working loose, you'll have HUGE trouble shortly. If it
    was a non-honda dealer and they didn't use the correct tool to lock up
    the pulley when removing the bolt, they may have shredded the harmonic
    balancer that's inside the crankshaft pulley.

    Some wobble is normal.
