There should be a belt tentioner, go to autozone and ask for a component location on the belt tensioner, they will print out a little paper for you showing you the belt routing and wich pulley the belt is being tentioned by, once you spot it, look and see if you will need either a plain 3/8ths rachet or a sized wrench tool, if its a little square then you just need a rachet if its a nut then use a wrench, and just turn it either clockwise of counter clockwise to loosen the belt and thats it.

Where is the power steering belt & pump located in a 1999 ford tarus with 100,000 miles
When you open the hood ,,look on the passenger side,and you will see the drive belt..It goes around different pulleys ,,and its one belt..To one side you will see the powersteering pump..It should have a cap on it that says powersteering on it..Its kinda of complicated job to change the pump,,without the tools..

Want to bypass powersteering pump on 94 grand caravan 3.3 liter 6 cylinder, pulley making loud noise need new belt size and serpintine diagram if its possible
that's not possible all of those vehicles came stock with power steering so all belt dimensions are taking the power steering pump into consideration,the only one that would change would be the A/C belt depending on whether or not your vehicle came with it or not,a used power steering pump should only cost just a little bit more then a new serpentine belt,hope this helps and good luck

Loud squealing noise from the engine when you turn the wheel. It has plenty of power steering fluid. Any suggestions?
Adjust belt tension on powersteering pump, if belt is separate, if not, it may be time for a new serpentine belt. When was it/they last changed?

Squileeng with the belt
I need to know why you changed the power steering pump and the belt. It sounds like you had a problem and replaced the wrong component. You chould change whatever component is locked up behind the pulley and replace the belt. Let me know if this helps.
