Ok guys i cant get the freaking bolt off that keeps the power steering from going tight. It is in the worst spot known to man i think, right by spark plug #1, wedged by the header, and the power steering hose is right in the way of my hand. WHen i use my dads tool that actually gets on it, but then comes off when i get ready to turn, because of the awkward posistion. What tools do you guys use to get this bolt loose so you can adjust the timing belt. Reason i am doing this is due to it squealing for about 2 seconds and then going away.

make sure you have metric sockets and wrenches.

I just used the box end of a 14mm wrench to get it loose. Also spray it with some WD-40.

If you're talking about the bolts that hold the PS pump in place and maintain tension in the belt, make sure to get both of them. You need to loosen the pivot bolt and remove the one that holds the pump in position.

Marvel Mystery oil works every time! I swear by the stuff. WD-40 is water compared to that stuff.
