Broken power steering belt
Hi all,
I own a 2002 Accord, 2.3 5 speed. I recently tore my power steering belt (by hitting a pothole in Baltimore. Maryland roads=*fun*) resulting in a complete loss of power steering from my vehicle. I purchased a new belt , but am having issues installing it. All posts that I've come across address only 2 issues:
1.) Changing the entire serpentine system
2.) Changing (but not replacing) the power steering belt
Are there any tips/tricks/fancy Jedi moves that you guys have for changing the power steeing belt?

Re: Broken power steering belt
What issues are you having? It's relatively simple.
Just loosen up the adjustment bolt on the PS pump (if it's like the F22) it's a bolt on top ,the only one that doesn't go to the head, and loosen it until you can slip the belt over it. Do the crank pull side first (small hands help to guide it) and then slip it on.
Tighten that bolt to get the belt tensioned.
