Need to disable power steering... What size belt?

[wa22jimmy]

i was going to say that on a DOHC motor you can just remove the belt but i saw you have a SOHC

That belt is a tight fit so here is the procedure for getting it on.
loosen all the bolts on the crank pulley and leave two on (the top ones), loosen the water pump bolts but leave two on (the bottom ones), then slide the belt on and press the belt on hard while turning the crank. Slowly after maybe 3-5 turns of the crank it will be completely on. then put on and tighten all the bolts. Do a simple test run, see if everything is ok.

This is the belt I, and many other people are using, though there is little-to-none belt deflection.
Next time I replace the belt, I think I could do it without unbolting anything, just turning the crank and letting it work itself on.
About 4500K put on it and no problems yet, just a little stiffy..

Thanks SilviaSativa, just the information I was looking for. Didn't see it in search. I wouldn't have been able to take my belf of to do measurements, since the S13's my only ride right now. Thanks for the help, everyone.

Will this be able to hold up for an extended period of time? Also is the AC pump belt connected to anything else besides the crank?

wont having no belt deflection mess up the water pump's bearing? the belt tension is supposed to have up to 10mm of deflection or it might be too tight...
