There is no tensioner pully. The Power Steering pump has a moving bracket that adjusts the belt tension. It has a long adjustment bolt. You have to remove the air cleaner and housing to reach it successfully.

Funny, mine has a belt tensioner pulley under the power steering pump, which is tightened by a long adjustment bolt. So does every other 1996 Cherokee I've worked on!

How do you loosen the power steering pump on a 1995 jeep Cherokee sport I LOOSENED THE 2 PIVOT BOLTS ON THE BACK OF THE PUMP AND THEN BACKED OF THE TENSIONER BOLT SO WHY WON'T THE PUMP MOVE?

Assuming the pump is similar to my 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport, you first need to remove the the pulley with a special tool which you can borrow at an auto parts store. But before doing this, loosen and slide off the the belt off the pump. After removing pulley. remove bolts and pump should slide off. Did this to my jeep recently.
