Just spent a half hour trying to figure out how to get a new belt on my power steering pump. I KNOW there's got to be a bolt or nut on the pump somewhere I loosen to shift the pump and then tension the belt once it's on, but damned if I can find it. Very tight in there! Can somebody clue me in?

On the back side of the pump, between the pump and exhaust manifold, look down and slightly forward. There is a stud and nut and slotted bracket. Loosen it with a long 9/16 offset wrench. There is another on the front of the pump. To get this one you need to go through the hole(s) in the tensioner (if you have one) A/C cars have tensioners, non A/C cars don't... but lots of the A/C cars have them missing.

:iagree: but you will have to take the alt belt off frist to get to the p/s belt
