Is there a trick to getting the power steering belt on?
I just got a new belt to install since I just replaced my power steering pump and I just can't seem to get it to go around the pullies!
I loosened the tensioner pulley all the way and it still just doesn't fit. Is there any tip or trick to getting this thing on?!?!?
Thanks for any tips,
Ian

If it is the correct belt, you loosen the retaining nut, and loosened the adjustment
tensioner; it is easy.
Thus one of the three is wrong or not done.
Figure it out.

Did they sell you a belt for an FC instead? It should be easy as pie with the tensioner backed out. Check your part number to what is called for in the parts catalog. They gave me an FC belt once.

All FD's were equipped with AC. Nevertheless, the parts stores (AutoZone, Checker, Pep Boys, NAPA, etc.) somehow provided an optional belt for "by-passing" the AC pulley, presumably, under the false notion that there were non-AC FDs. Ultimately, for many who have removed their AC for performance gains and/or for weight reduction, it is convenient as you can get a manufactured belt that is the correct size for this modification. The belt would obviously be too short for your application as it needs to reach around the AC pulley.
