G60 power steering belt - Mondays stupid question

[Andy665 0]

Want to replace my power steering belt, had a quick look underneath the car and can't see an obvious way of loosening things off to get the belt off - can someone point me in the right direction :lol:

There are 4 bolts you need to loosen then use a soft faced mallet to move the pump along it's bracket - 3 are fairly obvious but one is kind of hidden inside the bracket that holds the pump - you don't need to take the pulley off!

 

Hopefully you've got the right size gates belt - 663mm as GSF and ECP both still sell a 650 for a G60 that doesn't fit despite me telling both companies about this!

Managed to change it without releasing the pump, just used the old 3rd gear and screwdriver trick to "walk" the old belt off, ten minute job to switch belts - the one that was on was in fact a 650mm belt, hence me wanting to change it
