you may have to take the alternator belt off first. loosen the bolt that is in the slotted part of the alternator bracket and loosen the pivot bolt and nut that goes through the cast aluminum body of the alternator bolt heads are 9/16 or 5/8 inch. push on the alterator to loosen that belt enough to take off. now the pulley of the powersteering pump migh have holes in it get one about the 4 oclock position and you may see the bolt you need to loosen the pump up and pivot it to fit your belt on. if there are no holes in the pully simply look at the bracket that mounts the pump to the motor and find the bolt that has a slot behind it and that's the bolt you need to loosen up to pivot the pump and slide on a new belt. you will need some sort of pry bar to hold the new pump belt tight while you tighten the bolts back up. BE CAREFUL not to puncture your pump resovior or you will need a new pump because now it has a hole in it. put your alternator belt back on and use a pry bar to push in back into place and be careful not to pinch any wires when you do it. tighten bolts back up while holding pressure on the belt. when the car is running you should see very little vibrations in the belts and you know you have them tight enough.
