need help on power steering belt.

masube · 01-20-2005, 01:23 PM

Hey guys I need a new power steering belt for my legacy. Should I just go to the dealer and tell them to put a new belt or should I buy the belt and do it myself? I never done it before so I don't know if the installation's going to be easy or not. Any advice would be appreciated.

Get it from a local parts place.

It should take only ~10-15 minutes to do. Maybe get both the AC and PS/ALT belts and do at the same time?

it should be relatively easy if you've got some idea of what you're doing...the only 'difficult' part would be tension'ing the belts correctly.

I'd pick up a haynes manual or something and see how they tell you to do it. I think theres some type of special tension tool to measure how tight the belt is in order to compare to OEM spec.
