Need help replacing power steering pump
 

I have a 1994 Diamante LS with SOHC 6 cyl 3.0L engine. I need to replace the power steering pump, and I have a dumb question. How do I remove the power steering pump drive belt? I think there is a tensioner just behind and below the pump, but wanted to make sure if this before I started messing with it. I am assuming I just loosen the bolt to lessen the pressure on the belt. Anything I need to be aware of before doing this.

See picture below:

Thanks in advance.

See that nut in the middle of the tensioner? Find a socket that fits it, put a long extension on it and rotate the tensioner pulley away from the belt to relieve the tension. Use caution though, it's under a lot of tension. You move the entire pulley out of the way, you dont remove it, just rotate it.

If this belt does not also drive the alternator, and that doesn't have an adjustment on it, then there's likely a spring loaded tensioner pulley somewhere accessible.

It should be obvious, you would put a wrench on it, turn it, and you'll feel it's spring loaded. Simply apply tension to it while pulling the belt off, and shazam, you're golden.

Thanks guys

See the photo below. I think I need to loosen the nut in the center of the tenionser, then turn the "adjusting screw" to loosen the belt. Any thoughts?

Thats not the same pulley as the first photo?

It's the same one pulley, but looking at it from above. When I got out my flashlight, I saw what appears to be an adjustment bolt. At least that's what it looks like to me. I may be wrong, but want to see if anyone else had any ideas.
