Wondering if there is a certain sequence for tightening accessory belts. Just completed new poly bushings. When I tighten the alternator belts, the front belt snugs up tight way before the back belt( belt nearest the firewall). When I get the back belt tight, the front belt is then too tight. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.
