Make sure the cable is Secure, and or you can push harder than usual.
The Pulley is slipping forward during pump engagement and tightening the belt to breaking point. Tighten or replace bolts holding power steering pump to the bracket. I have been hearing a pulley that sounded loose or like it was gonna fail and have been waiting on the serpentine belt to break on 1996 Mazda protege. Will I feel that the pulley is slipping?
If it keeps breaking and not just slipping off you've probably got a pulley that is locking up. You'll just have to find which one it is.....A/C, power steering, idler pulley, etc.
no it is a belt it fits onto a pulley and enables your fan to turn to keep your engine cooled.
Either the belt is worn out, incorrect belt, drive gears are worn, or the tensioner is defective.
Assuming the tensioner is keeping the belt tight, you need to make sure all of the pulleys are still in a straight line. If a bearing has failed in a pulley the puley will "lean" causing the belt to run off the edge.
Initial tension force Fi is needed to counteract the centrifugal force Fc on the belt and thus keep the belt on the pulley. Fi essentially allows the belt to go around the pulley.
the main thing is that your belt that goes from the deck to the pulley beneath the pulley on the engine that makes the mower move there is a pulley below that and the belt is to tight. that is the only thing i can think of. hope this helps
Improper tension, bent, loose, misaligned pulley.
A serpentine belt has an idler pulley on is to keep it tight at all times. If your serpentine belt is loose, then something is worn out. Its possible the idler pulley is stuck in its bracket so it cannot move or the spring on it is worn out.
If it is a serpentine belt the idler pulley more than likely needs replacing. If it is a drive belt you are adjusting it too tightly.

AnswerYour serpentime belt tensioner needs replacement ( spring inside it broken/weak) or your belt worn , Have you changed any components lately ? installed right ( pulley not centre with rest of system ) ( shims )
