Adjuster Bolt snapped
Adjuster Bolt snapped
The adjuster bolt (power steering pump bracket) for the power steering belt snapped when we were trying to tighten it.
Is the car still drivable (safely)?
I cannot seem to find the part number ... the bolt is #9 in the diagram.

Re: Adjuster Bolt snapped
Remove loose pieces.
Safe enough to drive, if you still have the belt tight enough for the power steering to work.
I'd just replace with a long regular bolt, no real need for a wing on it.

Re: Adjuster Bolt snapped
I'd just get the belt tight using a pry bar or whatever then lock it down.
I don't NEED the adjuster bolt to get the belt tight.
I never use the one under the alternator when doing belts, I snug it after I'm done just to make sure it can't fall out.
