anyone know the length for the belt needed for the power steering without the air conditioning?? Any part numbers? I measure the length and it seems that the belt will need to be 3feet and 1 inch in total length...

tks,
David

 

oops I did a search and this is what came up.

alternator/water pump belt 4 rib 30 from autozone etc etc since it 5 ribs are not available in that length...

power steering w/o AC is N3A1-15-907 at mazda or good year 6pk0915 360k6

does that sound right??

tks~

David

 

sounds good, i am going to be removig my a/c anyday now. thanks for the doing the footwork for me.

 

wow this is an old post...well anyway, the part number is correct. I've ordered it and have been driving with it for awhile now. It was about $40 from the dealer.

good luck,
David

 

yea 360k6 for ps without ac

 

360k6 is definatly right, and the belt only cost $9.99 at pep boys

i did the belt, but have yet to drain the fluid before i start removing ac components,

does anyone have a pic of everything out? also, how much did everything weigh? anyone pile it up and weigh it? just curious

 

umm...i prob could for ya kieth....
i think on the lightning site someone alredy did..make shure you go to a AC place and get theat R-12 RECOVERED...I NEED OZONE LAYER IN 30 YEARS

any ac place will do it for free hell you giving them **** their gonna sell for 45$ a pound so....

ohh sorry i didnt get back to you yet..been hella bussy and i didnt get you message till yesterday night...stupid cell...i dont have the bumper anymore to make a long story short..

 

thats alright about the bumper...just thought i may be able to help "fund" your project and help a friend out with a bumper cover.
i AM going to have it recovered. alex at jim's is doing it, i was going to store it if i ever decided to toss this crap back on. ya know? i wouldnt ruin our ozone pal, but if i did, that is between me and my God, and he is probobly alreay pissed at me for many other things including running a few MAZDAS with no cats...

 

thought they all came with R134a to be more environmentally friendly...and my shot into the atomosphere! piping broke I'm sorry I'm killing the ozone...

David

 

its ok, its not gonna hurt anything, there isnt even much in there...ppsssttt...a-spec....can you keep a secret? i was just trying to humor this tree hugger.

as you can see from the photo, he doesnt need anything ELSE harmful to breath in, he's had his share! ROFLMFAO!!!

but in all seriousness, it is not THAT bad, but i would personaly rather not dump it into atmosphere.

 

now thats just not right..i need to get that pic umm...removed...

1 goofy pic and it will never leave...heheh

 

awww, len
i hope you didnt get mad at that. it was meant in fun. see what happens with a camera....they can be dangerous..lol

 

lol..its a clasic..i could never hate it

trust me i know the dangers of cameras well

 

I'm grave digging, I'm removing my powersteering and keeping my AC, would I still need the same belt length?

 

Is your main pulley stock or underdrive? I know people hate reading this, but its just easier to use a string and measure what you need. It honestly doesn't take that long to do.

 

It's underdrive main pulley and regular pulley on the compressor. I guess I'll have to get a string to measure lol
