im trying to get my power steering belt off so i can get to my a/c belt to replace it. i have tried loosening both the bolts that make it swivel but it still will not move. is there anyone that can give me some insight on what im doing wrong or does anybody have a writeup on it with pics so i can make sure im on the right 2 bolts? thanks.

there is a bolt that comes in through the side below the front of the pump, you have to back that bolt out, be glad you have an n/a the hicas hoses make thsi a challenge

I used this write up to replace my pulleys. http://bit.ly/bbnVVg

It may provide you with a little insight on which bolts to remove.

That is all.

okay. i loosened the long bolt on the bottom like you were saying but the pump will still not swivel. i have the bolt on the front side on the bottom loose too because it looks like it has to be loose for the pump to move at all, but it is still not moving. i even tried to give it a few taps with a rubber mallet and it still wont budge. do both bolts have to be taken completely out or just loosened?

you said you got the pivot bolt. the one you ahve to access though the slot in the pulley? and due to the heavy hoses it's still tough to get the thing to pivot

okay finally got it to rotate and got the belt changed but now i cannot get the long pivot bolt back in. i tightened the 2 other adjusters down to where the belt is tight again but the pivot bolt behind the pulley is not lining up to go in.

thats why you don't remove the pivot bolt and when you do it's the first bolt to go back in
