bloody power steering belt... 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Blake on  Sun Nov 30 09:45 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Alright, it appears that you have to pull the A/C belt to get to the power steering belt, Since the A/C compressor has a double pulley. Thats all great and wonderful, but i can't get the A/C belt off! I have tryed everything that i can think of, but there seems the is something holding it back, so i can only get a little slack. And yes i did loosen up all of the bolts, even the one that is hidden. TO make things easier i have even remove the PS pump, to get that out of the way. Is there a easier way of doing this? If so PLEASE tell me. I been workin on this now for about 2 hours, and its starting to get dark.... I wouldn't think it would be all all "nighter" for the PS belt....

Thanks in advance,
Blake

    Loosen the front A/C locknut. Loosen the rear hidden locknut. Back off the tensioner bolt, 10mm wrench or socket, the bolt is sideways, then the compressor should pivot in easily.

    Put a screwdriver under the AC belt where it wraps around the front engine pulley and start to roll the belt off the pulley. Then use a socket wrench on the crankshaft center bolt to turn the engine about 1/2 revolution.

    You'll have the belt off in 30 seconds.

    Goes back on the same way.

    I've done dozens 'n dozens 'n dozens this way with no failures.
