DIY Replacing Power Steering Pump 2000 Infiniti I30

This is a DIY on how to replace a power steering pump on a 2000 Infiniti I30 

This photo above will show you how to loosen the serpentine belt for the power steering because there are two belt tensioner one is on the power steering pump the other is for the A/C and alternator - There is a top bolt that you have to loosen first that is holding the power steering pump - Then underneath it will be the adjuster 

The first thing to do is to remove the power steering hose pressure and non pressure hose 

This bolt can be a pain in the butt to break loose but its up towards the top the diagram will help you locate it - But this must be loosen before you can take the belt off 

Then to take off the pulley 

For the new pump to fit you have to push back that slider pin 

Power steering pump Auto Zone part number AAE5233

This is the power steering belt 

This is the adjuster bolt for the power steering pump

Adjusting the tension on the belt 

Put everything back the way you took it off - This is a difficult job and you must have patients cause it is tight in that area - Bolts can be on tight and you have to make sure before you can adjust it you have to have the top of the pump bolt loose and the adjuster sleeve loose you might need to bang on it to free the pump to swivel

DIY - Serpentine Belt 2000 Honda CRV

This DIY is on a 2000 Honda CRV with a 2.4 Motor - The Diagram below is correct route for the serpentine 

Remove the cover below that covers the a/c and crankshaft - As you see in the second photo that is where the location of the belt tensioner - All you have to do is unclasp the power steering canister and move it aside 

With my homemade serpentine belt tool you pull the tensioner forward and you will see the belt getting loose - From that point you un slip the top part of the belt 

Once you have the serpentine belt off the top you can pull it from the bottom - Make sure you measure the new one before you put it on - Check tensioner pulley to make sure it still has tension - Remember the route of the belt if not this page provides a diagram 

Then you put the new belt on the same way you took it off - Make sure the grooves are matching and laying flat - Feel the tension - Then put the cover and power steering pump canister back
