Fortrak Steering belt adjustment

Forum: 

Hi,
I'm trying to adjust the steering belt. I've slackened the adjustment bolt but the pump won't budge. Do I need to do anything else , all the other bolts aren't easy to get to.

Fourtrak 2.8 1998

Many thanks

Pump belt adjustment

From memory (I have a '97 F78) there is only one fixing which acts as the pivot point. If it has been untouched for a long time you may have corrosion between the bolt and sleeve. Try plenty of release compound, leave for some time to take effect and then carefully pry with a lever between the pump and mounting.

Good luck
