How the hell do I loosen the back ps pump bolt? I get my wrench on it but the wrench extends between the drive shaft and O2 sensor...can't turn it!

 

Use an extension with a socket ?? I think thats what I did.

 

I had a socket wrench on it but the handle has limited degree of rotation, plus I needed a pipe too extend the handle.

Changing belts because the're six years old, and I had a squeak, was hoping from the tensioner pulley. Replaced the pulley and outside belt, checked the alt and ac seemed smooth. Sure enough it still squeaks, so maybe the ps pump?

 

Make sure you are using a 12 point. I actually prefer a 12pt gear-wrench over the swivel

 

I used a socket wrench with a pivoting head.

 

you can also cheat it by cutting the old belt off. then take the new belt and fully install it on the crank pulley. then put as much of the belt on the power steering pulleyas you can and rotate the crankpulley with ratchet and socket. this will cause the belt to jump on. this is a flate rate trick i learned when i worked at infiniti for a year.
