Hi guys

I noticed last night that one of my aux belts is not sitting correctly on the pulley.

Can anyone identify what belt this is & advice the best way to get it back on & sitting right. Do i need to remove the pulley?

Thanks in advance

Thats odd, it shouldnt walk off the pulley unless it wasnt fitted correctly??... Should be your power steer pump and NO you dont need to remove the pulley to fix it, just back of the adjustment, correct it and then re-tighten!

It wont walk mate, there are 5 or so grooves in it to hold it still UNLESS the Pwr Str pump is lose but i highly doubt that!!! Ill go have a look at mine and let you know.....

Maybe the pulley bearing is going?

Not in this case mate, its the power steer pump, if the bearing went he would have oil everywhere and no power assistance..... Just looks like it wasnt fitted correctly as there is no other way it could really happen!

As

No I did it as tight as the other 2 belts were. Hopefully thats alright.

As long as there is some deflection? Too tight puts a lot of strain on the pump itself and bearings etc......

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
