Removing Power Steering Pump VT 5 litre V8

[50LTRv8]

Hello Oracle

I am trying to remove my power steering pump to replace the seals. I am stuck on the simplest of things, removing tension on the belt for the power steering. I only have a VQ manual to go off and it isn't making much sense.

If anyone has done this and can give me some pointers that would be great.

Thanks in advance

The idler pully bolt for the power steering is accessed from under the car, it is quiet dificult to get to, and you will need a short socket. Good Luck!

I think I found it last night, I undid it but the pully did not move.

It is like a threaded bolt that goes through the pully, I undid it but no movement

have to loosen the bolt that goes through the pulley too.
