[MBZ] Tightness on a Power Steering Belt

2008-11-30 Thread Robert Rentfro
As I wait for my power steering pump to arrive, I noticed the belt is wicked
loose. The belt is squealing badly at low rpm. People stare..I wave. The
pump itself isn't loose but for as loose as the belt is the pump must have
moved some.

How do I adjust the position of the pump to tighten the belt?  It's not
glaringly obvious to me.

loosen the 3 mounting nuts/bolts, then tighten the adjusting bolt on the 
top.

Ahh there is the problem. There is one bolt on the top nearest the engine,
none on the crescent shaped adjusting slider looking space where I'm
guessing one should be and it seems the bolt going down from the bracket
into the pump itself for adjusting is stripped.
No wonder the belt squeals.
Any idea on what size the missing bolt is?

I have no idea but Im thinking the one I sent you MIGHT have the 
adjuster on it still.  I dont recall removing it so it should still be 
on there.

Re: [MBZ] Tightness on a Power Steering Belt

2008-11-30 Thread Rich Thomas
The adjusting thingie inside the pump is a piece of plastic, probably 
long since disintegrated, which means you will have to revert to prying 
it tight, which is not easy to do as there are no good places to pry 
from and to.  I think I finally put a piece of wood somewhere and took a 
small pry bar and was able to get it tight that way, while also 
tightening one bolt to hold it tight while tightening the other 2.  3 
hands help in the job.

When we moved here from Austin, TX, we sent ourselves several boxes via
FedEx. One of them was damaged in shipping, so they followed their (then)
standard policy, ship it back to the sender. Only problem was that there
was no one there, since we had moved to Los Alamos, NM. It took some
wrangling with them to convince them to go get the box off our old
doorstep in Austin and send it to us here in Los Alamos.

Re: [MBZ] Tightness on a Power Steering Belt

2008-11-30 Thread Loren Faeth
I love fedex.  I sent a box of bread for lab testing from the Big 
Island to Honolulu.  Simple eh?  They do it all the time.  After a 
week without hearing the results, I called the lab and asked about my 
results.  Nothing, they never got the delivery!  About 2 months later 
I got a call from fedex in Honolulu asking what they should do with 
the box.  I told them to open it and eat it.  It was my gift to 
them.  I'd a rather told em where to shove it, but I am too nice for that.

 how the heck could it have been damaged before it really even got
 anywhere.  Maybe the fedex guy ran over it.

When we moved here from Austin, TX, we sent ourselves several boxes via
FedEx. One of them was damaged in shipping, so they followed their (then)
standard policy, ship it back to the sender. Only problem was that there
was no one there, since we had moved to Los Alamos, NM. It took some
wrangling with them to convince them to go get the box off our old
doorstep in Austin and send it to us here in Los Alamos.

  It says something about it being damaged. It looks like it languishing
  in TX.
