Replacing drive belts
Hello. I have an 89 E30 and I am trying to replace the belts. I have read your book and have had no problem with the alternator and A/C Belts, but saw no mention of the power steering belt. It does not appear to have the same setup as the other two, so I'm nopt sure how to releave tension. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks

I've moved this to the E30/E36 forum.
The tension adjuster for the E30 is shown circled here. It's the same type as the one for the alternator directly above it.

Thanks jared. I actually found it last night, after further investigation. However another problem arose... I loosened the lock nut and attempted to release the tension on the gear nut, and was getting no results. I removed the tensioner bracket and found it to be stripped. I've ordered another one, however I am still unable to releave the tension on the belt. Any idea which bolt will allow this now? Thanks

Loosen the other nuts on the bracket around the pump.
