Volvo: 240 DL a/c compressor belt remove/replace, slide bolts, power steering pump


Question
Would you tell me how to replace the belts on my 240 DL.  I cannot ID the adjust/slide nuts on the a/c compressor.  Thank you so much.  Kim

Answer
Thats a tough question.  When I replaced the belts on m 1980, I never was able to identify slide bolts like what you see on the power steering pump.  The A/C compressor is attached to the block with 4 rather long bolts.  What I ended up doing was losening the rear two bolts (the two furthest from the front of the enging).  As I undid those bolts I was able to tilt the compressor forward enough the get the belt off that why.  I'm not sure if it is the official rule for removing that belt or if I was just lucky.  You can try it that way or if you want to discover the "right" way, you could also post that question for free on www.brickboard.com, a Volvo forum on the web.
