i have a question bout the water pump? looking at the diagram in the manual it looks as if the water pump and the power steering pump are one unit(one pulley). also where is the tensioner for the belt in the water pump system? any help would be appriciated

the power steering and water pump have their own pulleys.
The tensioner is located between the water pump puelly and PS pulley and is accesible from underneatch the car

It should be like a 10mm bolt kinda hanging down toward the ground.

Remove the splash sheild and you should see the tensioner pulley.

Well you don't HAVE to take the tire off, but it will make it like ten times easier.
