Tightening the power steering belt on a 160

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My 160 has very weak power steering. I think I tracked down the likely cause being belt is quite loose. I didn't think to check it while it was cold and it's a lot looser then I realized.
Thank you AC720Man for suggesting that.

The service manual shows 4 bolts. Two look like they're tucked in the frame rail. I can see why people are saying it's a pain to adjust.

Any tips or tricks for tightening?
