There is an adjustment on the Power Steering pump to tighten the belt. About 1/2 inch deflection is correct tension. Too loose or too tight will put undo stress on the bearings & cause them to wear early. I usually soak the bolts with penetrating oil before trying to adjust since they will probably be a bit stuck. It helps avoid breakage.
