    Yes, clean all the pulleys off w/ brake clean after removing the belt to allow you to turn them to be sure you got all the grooves clean and replace the belt. The belt is probably saturated w/ coolant now and will most likely never stop squealing.

    You can try washing the belt off but not sure how well that will work.

    Belts are cheap you can replace them if you want, but I had this happen with my alternator so I replaced it with a used one for $50 off ebay. So if could be one of the pulleys, if you can listen and get a general idea of the area its coming from then you can usually replace the culprit...its probably a Tensioner pulley

    You can get a used HUD usually off Ebay from Ed Morad

    On the HUD. there is a typical spring or clip that breaks and makes it shine off in left field. I believe we have a post of how to fix your year hud here. Give it a search. If you don't find it.. please post again and I'll get you a write up.
