ok so i look at the how to (http://www.greghome.com/images/Maxim...DriveBelts.jpg) and ive found all but one bolt that i have to loosen. the one i can not find is the one on the top left of that page near the power steering oil pump....

my question to you is can anyone please tell me where it is so that i can finish changing my belts??? thanks!

 

if i had my car available i'd go snap a pic for you =/

 

That bolt is in the back, behind the power steering pump. You have to get under the car and access it that way. It is a PITA.
What I do to change the belts is leave the bolts alone for the PS pump and just cut the old belt off, then put the new one on the PS pump and slip the other side that goes onto the crank pulley by turning the crank. Much easier that way.

 

Hrm didn't think about trying it that way... But yeah, the bolt for the PS pump is way up there and it's a pain in the *** to get to. I ended up using a 3/8" ratchet and a panel-popper as a mini-prybar to use as leverage to get the sucker to move.

 

A long handled 12mm wrench does the trick.

 

its hard to get too and harder to see, you kinda got to feel for it, I went threw the same issue, haynes has an OK pic to help you fnd it

 

i dont have a haynes manual...this should really not be taking so damn long lol

 

What i did (keep in mind i was at work with all my tools available and a lift) If you look at your Y-pipe and look kinda behind the P.S pump area, you can see it. get like 3 or 4 3/8" extensions with the 14mm swivel socket ( i think its 14) and loosen it. the other bolts/nuts were easy but the hidden P.S bolt is a bithc.

 

yea i found that bolt and loosened it, but was delayed beacuse of the power outage due to a huge *** storm that rolled through my town ( see storm video at www.necn.com then scroll down to "more top stories" and click "fierce storms hit north shore and NH" ....my town is marblehead)
