You can't. There is a spring loaded tensioner pully that maintains tightness on the belt at all times. Maybe it is weak or the belt is streched or oily and slipping. You may also have low or burnt fluid in the Power Steering reservoir. There is a possibility of dry joints in the steering section causing resistance to movement and a heavier load on the pump.

It's under the power steering pump . Power steering pump is behind the alternator.
Hi i have an 84 delta 88 and am trying to tighten the power steering belt as well,I noticed that one bolt for it is through the pully and another behind the pump on the bottem side.I cant seem to break the bottem one loose so im not sure if that's all the bolts or not I will let you know when i get it,Thanks Bill
Do you need to tighten the entire pump assembly (brackets and belt) or just tighten the steering box?
It goes in the power steering located on the drivers side, in the front of the motor. There is a black screw cap on the power steering pump and a dipstick inside.
Assuming you have power steering, you may have a loose belt or the power steering system has a leak and the power steering fluid reservoir is low or empty.
The power steering belt has an adjustment pulley. To tighten the belt on a 1994 Acura Vigor loosen the adjustment pulley and pull it up higher than tighten it.
you may need more power steering fluid.
look in the instruction booklet
Put it back on and tighten the bracket.
use dextron II or power steering fluid, this age of car was not picky
its probably the fuse for the cigg lighter. Check that right under the steering column. It should be marked.
