Nissan Repair: Belts???, pivot bolt, power steering pump


Question
I'm trying to replace the belt for the alternator.  Of course it is in the back, but I can't get the power steering pump loose enough to get the first of three belts off.  What is the secret "bolt" I'm missing??

Answer
Wayne,

The power steering belt is held by two bolts.  The one that pivots has to be loosened and then the one that locks the pump in place and then the adjustment bolt, the olng one, has to be loosened to get the pump to pivot down to loosen the belt.  I am pretty sure the pivot bolt is the one that you are looking to loosen to get the pump to rotate to get the belt off.
