[QUOTE="Mike Presneill, post: 739884, member: 21422"] I need to replace the water pump belt on my old Nissan Micra 1.0L 1999 with Power Steering but no Air Con. I have followed the steps below: 1. Slacken the two pivot bolts at the base of the steering pump mounting bracket (access from below). 2. Slacken the nut that goes through the adjustment slot (access from above). 3. Use the tensioner bolt to adjust the belt (clockwise to tighten – access from below). Steps 1 and 2 I have done above okay. But I am a little confused on Step 3 above. I have adjusted the [B]tensioner bolt[/B] (anti-clockwise) so the bolt sticks out about 1 inch but the power steering pulley does not want to move. I can not seem to budge the power steering pulley wheel and move it so it slackens the water pump belt and enable me to take the belt off and put the new belt on. Any suggestions on what I might have missed or do I need more brute force to push the power steering pulley so it slackens the belt or is there another bolt I need to remove ? See attached photo on where I am. [/QUOTE]
