The power steering pump should have like a tension bolt on the mounting bracket, just loosen that up and the belt should come off, Just be sure and tighten it up good when re-instaling it or it will squeal

Lol, dont be lazy....You'll still have to pull the power steering pump out to adjust the ac compressor or you'll never get the new belt on. Super easy job.

1. jack drivers side up and pull wheel off
2. loosen the power steering pump-wingnut and slide belt off-loosen too bolts and lift power steering pump out and set up between res and the vc
3. loosen ac pump with ajusment bolt ( now that you can reach it) and remove belt (you also have to remove 2 bolts on the lower mount to slide the new ac belt on
4. put new ac belt on-tight the idler pulley first, then final adjustment on the compressor adjustment bolt
5. reinstall ps pump, replace belt, retightne everything
6. make sure to replace 2 bolts on lower mount reinstall wheel and lower car
7. enjoy cool ac-with no belt squeek
