English is not my first language so bear with me on all the car-lingo. Please correct me if I've used a wrong word for part.


I thought I'd post here how I changed the belt cause while googling how to do it I stumbled upon many with similar questions, and no post/video on what do to.


So, while driving last week I suddenly heard a loud clonk and an EPS-warning came up in the display and my powersteering was out. I lucked out with it being the belt.


This should be entirely possible to do without removing the EPS from the car, but we removed it since we were insecure about the steps. 


---------
If you want to remove it from the car, remove;
- Steeringrods.
- 2 electrical wires on EPS from drivers side.
- Two big bults from the front, they are threaded in the EPS.
- Up by the steeringcolumn, a spline, we then wiggled it loose while lowering the EPS.


We used a jack to lower it, while wiggling out the steering-spline and then side to side to get the steeringrods down.
-----


Remove steeringrod (A) from passangerside. Open the side on the EPS-box and push back along with the rubberthingy (B) on the rod. If not enough room to work, turn the spline/steeringwheel (C) and it will lengthen.


Remove the ring (1), we used a tiny crowbar in the ridges and hammered it out, it was right-hand threaded. The house is aluminium so thread lightly. We had to really fight it out.


If the belt is still there just cut it and remove.


Remove the tensionroller (2)


Thread the belt over rod, rubberthing and lid. (I'm happy that worked) 
Place it around the inner ring, by turning the steeringwheel/spline it will go in easy. Then place the tensionroller. 


We lubricated when placing rings and rubbery thing.


This took us 5 hours, mostly because of caution. Now I just need to do a wheel alignment. But i did save 4k!
