How To Change The Power Steering Belt On Lexus Is 200

[NunoFil3]

Dear Forum Members i just tried to change the belts on my Lexus is200 2001, A/C belt, aternator belt and power steering belt.

I manage to change the A/C and Alternator belts but i couldn't change the Power steering belt because i can't find the way to remove the old belt, i don't know which screw i have to loosen up, to be able to remove the old one and fit the new belt.

I tried to loosen up the screw on the rear up of the pump wheel but still can't move it, and now i put all back in and the Power steering belt is even more loose making a hard job to turn the wheels when stationary.

I think i explain this in the way that someone can help me in how to change this belt please.

This supose to be easy but when you don't know is hard to guess help please.

Thanks to all.

I tried to loosen up the screw on the rear up of the pump wheel but still can't move it.

cos you have to loosen the other screw on the bottom also, then the pump should move.

Thanks for your reply Ricky, i do i get access to the rear bottom one?Is that the one behind the pump wheel isn't it, because if it is is nearly impossible to access it.

Thanks again
