help changing compressor power steering belt on mazda protege 2001
 

hello,

I need to replace the belt that goes thru the air conditioner compressor and power steering but I can't, for the life of me, figure out which is the tensioner.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated

The power steering pump is the tensioner. You'll need 12 & 14 mm wrenches or sockets. First, loosen the 14 mm mounting bolt, access thru the p\s pump pulley, then loosen the nut below the pulley, once again it should be 14 mm. Directly below the two hoses &
wire connector of the pump there is an 12 mm bolt. This is one for adjusting tension.
