How do i remove the power steering belt on an 84 olds omega? i cant turn the bolt behind the pump nor can i get a wrench in between the pump & the pully to losen that bolt
You are in a panic and losing you temper with it ,now as its an older vehicle i am asuming that its a V belt and not a serpentine belt ,and you have more than one V belt fitted to this vehicle ,right then to slacken the bolt behind the pulley try turning the pulley and it should have a hole in it to slacken the bolt behind it ,now if their is no hole then this bolt doesnt have to be slackened as you have to remove the pulley first which most likely has three bolts holding the wheel on .So here my guess is you have an idler pulley that has to be be slackened to remove the belt ,have a good look after a cup of tea and then i promise you it will slacken and you will kick yourself .Sorry i cannot be more specific but these american cars a bit a bit thin on the ground here in spain ,but we have plenty of citreons and peugeots though and these french made cars are designed to be worked on by ambidextrous buddas with 8 arms .
