• Q: How to replace the Drive Belt for the Air Conditioning Compressor and Power Steering Pump on 2008 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The first step to replace the air conditioning compressor and power steering pump belt is to detach the generator and water pump Drive Belt. You should rotate the Drive Belt tensioner to the clockwise position which will create Drive Belt tension reduction. After that loosen the Drive Belt from the power steering pulley and slow down your tensioner activation. After you detach the Drive Belt from the accessory drive pulleys continue with the replacement process. The installation process begins by placing the Drive Belt onto the Crankshaft Pulley then the idler pulley and finally the A/C Compressor before applying clockwise tension to the Drive Belt tensioner until you can add the belt to the power steering pulley and finally easing tension on the Drive Belt tensioner. When performing the final step, properly align and position the Drive Belt into all accessory drive pulley grooves before reinstalling the generator and water pump drive belts.
