Crank pulley has what to do with the pivot nut?
Just loosen the bolt on the slider/tensioner and with some correct positioning with a prybar, it'll move easily.

I'm trying to get the power steering belt off of the Crankshaft pulley so I can Take the damn thing off. how the hell am I going to get the crankshaft pulley off if all of the belts are not off? I need to loosen the P/S pulley pivot nut so I can take the belt off then use a pulley puller. How do I get to the back of the P/S pump?

YOu're just trying to remove ther p/s belt? there's just one nut on a "Y" sort of shaped adaptor with a slot in it next to the p/s pump. loosen it with a ratchet, and the belt should come loose.

What I was saying is that you don't need to remove, or even loosen that pivot bolt to loosen tension on the belt. Prybar. Give it a little tug, taking caution to what you're prying on.

Fuckin' A B C D E F and G that was a bitch to get off. Oh and thank you to supra90turbo, I just pryed from the side and The pump moved enough. Now I'm Getting new belts for the new crank pulley. Hope it's worth it, I spent more money on stupid Pullers that had to be jeririgged than it would've cost a garage to do it. whatever, it's done now thanks for the advice, I'll post when I feel the Gain in Aprx. 5-7 days :evil2:
