Help with silvertop power steering belt

Postby vr4boy » Sun May 19, 2013 8:39 pm

Does anyone know what size belt needed when a/c is removed and there is no longer a tensioner?

So I'm guessing you put the belt on the bolt the pump on to tension it?

Note: this is SO much easier if your radiator is out of the car.

Remove the power steering fluid reservoir out of its holder.
Unbolt power steering pump. Short mounting bolt and one that goes through the pulley IIRC
Fit the belt around the pulleys
Use an short pry bar (~25cm) to lever the pump into position while you start the thread on the long bolt with a 1/4" ratchet

Thanks for the help guys, got the belt and fitted it today, was really easy. Radiator was already out and p/s was to, put the belt over the pulleys and pulled the pump across till one bolt lined up and then it was rather easy, had pump already on bracket when I did it, and just bolted the hole lot on in one go.
