PS Belt, No GO
I cannot seem to get my PS Belt to fit. I have the actual pump slide down all the way but I still need about an inch and a half. Any suggestions?

This may sound stupid, but I've made the mistake of mixing up the belts and trying to fit a a/c belt to the waterpump, etc.. Try another belt.

Does anyone know if I can just get someone to turn the steering wheel as I guide the belt into place??

the belt should fit easily if it's the right size, and you have the adjuster all the way loose.
make sure they sold you the right size belt. the one for sale here on this site show 13mm x 1145 length.

 The belt doesn't go on the steering wheel, it goes on the power steering pump.

Hahaha. I guess that's why it didn't fit.
It has been a long day. I will check it in the morning now that I have the size. Thanks

Wrap the belt around the power steering pump, then half way around the crank in a clockwise motion until you run out of slack. Then jump the motor by touching the contacts on the passenger side terminals (the big screw on the end and the little screw on the other end) and it'll pull the belt right onto the crank pulley. Easy cheesy.

Jumping the belt onto the pulley...
If your belt is so tight it must be forced on, chances are your tension will too high and this will lead to bearing failure on the driven component.
