Thread: Power Sterring belt replacement HELP

These`s a 14mm pivot bolt thats right under the pump, access from under the vehicle....mainly by feel only. ......and a 12mm bolt on the adjuster. No other bolts need loosening.

Is it square? I'm seeing that, but all the other bolts are either under the pully or half way. The new belt will not go on. I strecthed the old belt and thats why it finally came off.

No, thats the captive nut. Its the other side you loosen.

Captive nut on the right underside of the pully, so the one I need is on the left underside of the pully? Loosen or take it out all the way? Its kinda in a hard to get to spot inside the wheelwell a bit. I have had to stop until tomorrow. Its dark and a storm is coming. I'm taking pics tomorrow once I know for sure what is what and then we can have it as a visual how to do for everyone.

all you have to do is loosen it, and if you have the adjuster bolt loose just push like a mofo on the bottom of the ps pump it should move, me and a buddy just did one today on his nx its the same setup, it wasnt too hard once we figured if you loosen the adjuster not quite all the way but a lot, just give it a good push itll move up, then just pull the old belt off and put a new one on.

Yeah just loosen it. Its a pivot bolt. Its hard to see it.

So should I be looking for a third bolt or just the two that I have already loosened? If its the two I've already loosened then I just need to keep pulling like a mofo towards the front of the car. If there is a third "pivot bolt"
then exactlly where it it located? I have found nothing else on the underside that would be of any help for a pivot. Thanks

there is 3 bolts total that need to be loosened the bolt that tightens the tensioner down, the tensioner and the pivot bolt on the bottom. after they are all loose, go from under the car and push on the bottom of the power steering pump up and forward it should move somewhat easily if you are a he man, if not a little tougher, especially if its somewhat seized, just gotta give it a good push and it shoiuld move

I finally found what I needed. I have also taken pics for a new how too. I will post it up later on. I also had a stripped adjustment bolt that made it more of a problem. Thanks for all the help.
