The wife's 940 has made some belt noise since we got it, and yes, I've been lazy about fixing it. But I ordered some of the ipd poly bushings to quell the racket, as they had worked wonders on my 240.
As I saw it, the PS pump was the only pulley out of alignment. So, I ordered 3 bushings to go along with the timing belt I had to change.
Well, I finally get into it this weekend, and surprise! The PS pump is mounted w/out bushings to a bracket which bolts to the engine block. I put the bushings on the alternator instead (the original rubbers were toast!), and did the timing belt, but I didn't have time to study the PS mounting.
Is there some way to adjust this thing? Shims on the bracket? Or do I just need to pry the thing a bit to bring everything even? There's no appreciable play in the pump bearings.
BTW, I manged to break the crank bolt loose all by myself. While waiting for wife.gov to get out there and hold the screwdriver in the ring gear, I decided to try it myself. I held the screwdriver in place, and flopped my posterior against the breaker bar on the crank bolt - piece of cake! Putting it back on, I just pushed off the front wheel till I felt the proper torque through my backside. Work that butt!
