Best Answer

The Power Steering pump is held in place by two bolts one is accessed on the top of the pump body using either an offset wrench or a socket(requires lining up the holes on the pulley with the top bolt). The second bolt is on the bottom of the pump and is actually part of the adjusting mechanism (best reached from underneath the car). There is a bolt on the front of the pump (kind of closer to the radiator) that is the actual adjuster. Loosen the two mounting bolts (do not remove all the way) and tighten or loosen the bolt on front until there is only a quarter inch slack in the belt. Once the proper tension has been placed on the belt tighten the two mounting bolts and you're done.
