1. Locate the power steering belt. It is the serpentine belt that runs from the power steering pump to the power steering gear box.
2. Loosen the power steering pump mounting bolts. There are two bolts that secure the power steering pump to the engine block.
3. Pry the power steering pump away from the engine block until the belt is loose.
4. Adjust the power steering belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt is located on the power steering pump.
5. Tighten the power steering pump mounting bolts.
6. Start the engine and check the power steering fluid level. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
Here are some additional tips for adjusting the power steering belt on a 1984 Chevrolet van:
* The power steering belt should be snug, but not too tight. If the belt is too tight, it can put unnecessary stress on the power steering pump and cause it to fail prematurely.
* If the power steering belt is too loose, it can slip and cause the power steering system to malfunction.
* Check the power steering belt tension regularly and adjust it as needed.
* If you are not comfortable adjusting the power steering belt yourself, you can take your van to a qualified mechanic.
