I'm replacing my belts in my 3.0. I've gotten the alternator belt off without any trouble. However, I can find absolutely no instructions for removing the power steering belt here or anywhere. What's the best way to do it? Remove the power steering pulley? If so how do you do that? I've been searching forever here and on google for both CL and Accord info, so if you tell me to "search" I'll reach through your computer and strangle you.

I PROMISE I'll write a nice DIY with pictures and everything that way you can tell someone to "just search" and you'll never be bothered again. Just help a poor noob out please.

Never mind guys some people over at a computer hardware forum were able to help me out.

Old thread but in case someone else searches, I just went through this last night. I had to loosen the power steering pump by the two bolts mounting it. Don't take them all the way out, just loosen them. Then there is a 3rd bolt that acts as a tensioner. Loosen that until you have enough play to get the belt to come off the pulley. I also had to take the two bolts off the motor mount next to the pulley in order to fully remove it and replace. In all, this is a simple job if you are at least slightly mechanicly inclined! The serpentine belt needs to be removed/replaced to get the power steering belt on/off so you might as well replace that while your at it. There should be a writye upo here, if not use this. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you...7_acura_cl_3.0
