adjusting drive belts

I just replaced the power steering and fan/alt drive belts. The only problem I have is adjusting them. What is the best way to adjust the power steering? First what are the bolts to adjust it? I had to undo the one on the back under, the one on the adjusting part the one under that and 2 to the bracket is this right or is it less than that? There is no where to really put a pry bar. So if there is a easy way or some place to pry to tighten the belt please write. For the ALT/FAN it was very simple to get off but where is there to pry to tighten? The both work fine now but I want to make sure they are adjusted properly. Also what happens if they are too lose? and if they are too tight?
