davidwort 0 Posted January 30, 2007 you need to loosen the mounting bolts for the front PS pump bracket (so the pump can swing - 2 13mm bolts inside the alloy bracket that go through into the back of the body of the pump) and then remove the adjuster bolt between the pump and the smaller bracket on the side of the engine, you won't get enough adjustment if you just try to turn it. Then you can swing the pump towards the back of the engine as far as it will go i.e. pushing the two pulleys together, ps pump one and crank end one. The PS belt will then come off, giving you access to the alternator one. David. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
