Removing the Ac compressor belt.

Loosen the 3 bolts on the back of the compressor. Photo #1. IF you completely remove the bolts, keep track of which washer/separator goes where.
Now adjust the tension using the adjusting nut as show in the picture. Photo #2.

Removing the power steering pump belt.

Loosing the 3 bolts in the rear of the pump. See Photo #3 and #4. I did not get down far enough to get the bottom inboard bolt head.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO PINCH OR CUT THE CLEAR PLASTIC DIESEL FUEL LINE NEAR THE ONE BOLT
Adjust the tension with the adjusting bolt. Photo #5
