Just bought a 2003 kr with 18k miles and then the belt started sqealling just see if any advice on how to fix it with out replacing belt

 

While I'm not the guy to describe a fix here... I am going to copy your post to the ENGINES forum to see if someone there might be able to help...

With that in mind, check in with the ENGINES forum occasionally to see if others have responded...

If the belt it truely squeeling the cheapest permanent solution is a new belt, that being said, belt dressing will temperarily quiet the noise if it is just a belt.
Be aware that most squeels in newer cars with serp. belts and tensioners are usually not the belt.
Take a mechanic's stethescope and listen to all of the components driven by the belt. It could be as simple as a belt tensioner pulley bearing, idler pulley bearing (if equipped) or an alternator bearing going bad. They will all make a little noise but they will all make some noise but it will be clear rough noise if a bearing is going bad.

Good luck.....

 

Before replacing the belt you can run the engine for a period of time with the belt removed to make sure its just the belt that is squealing.

 

If you don't have a mechanics stethescope like me you can try using a piece of rubber hose or tubing. I just put one end to my ear and the other end to the area where I think the noise is coming form & it isolates it so you know the source of the noise for sure. Sometimes letting it actually touch the part that you suspect with the hose will help you feel the vibration in it if bearings are bad. I bet a stethescope is much more accurate though. Mine has been referred to by my buddies as a "redneck stethescope".

Good luck,
