timthetinyhorse 0 Posted May 21, 2009 the belt that drives the PAS pump or the one from the engine? to remove the PAS belt there is a tension bolt on the underside of the PAS pump, you will have to loosen some of the other bolts sometimes to allow the pump to move, if it the belt driven from engine i would presume there will be a tension bolt somewhere on the pump no doubt someone will correct me here though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted May 21, 2009 There is a hidden bolt in the water pump housing, you need to attack it from below and get a long extension into the bracket above where the PAS pump pipes run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
