My ps pump siezed yesterday snapping the belt on my car. Is there any way to short belt around the pump so I can drive my car till I get a new pump? If so what size belt?

 

Good luck trying to drive your car w/o power steering.

 

I am sure you can but as far a size you would have to measure it with string

 

I have been for the past 2 months with no problems. My dp melted a line dumping all the fluid out..and its been running dry since then and it finally started squeeling the other night, i smelled the rubber then all the lights came on and my volts guage was at 12 indicating it wasnt spinning anymore.

 

I drove home from work last week with no PS...wasnt too bad

 

it took me a few weeks to get used to it..this really is the hardest car ive driven without power steering..parkinglots absolutely suck.

 

How are you driving you car now if you already have been driving the car for months w/o PS?

 

.....

 

Why not replace the line and get PS back?

As for your question, I would think you could get a shorter belt and bypass the PS pump. Just get some string and measure the path you are looking for and see if a local parts store has one in that size.

 

wow, and this is the car that he was selling to people.

 

gee thanks for your useless post. Youve never had anything break on your car? I didnt say i totalled the car and had frame damage..I broke my PS pump. Stay out of my thread.

 

41" belt worked perfectly.
