Well I've finally got the motivation to start on my 760 again (motivation meaning money here). I've got the water pump off now and figure I might as well replace the belts. I feel really stupid for not being able to figure it out but I can't. I've got them all off except the power steering pump. How do you do it? Is this some sort of adjuster that will take the tension off? The second pic is of the A/C compressor. I just took the idler pulley off to get the belt off for that but it has the same type of setup.



Thanks.
V6, btw

 

Hi everyone! I replaced the (only one so far) left rear brake of a S40 (2007 2.5L) and I thought that everything went well but for some reason the brakes feel spongy and there is a pump noise coming from the brake pump? The problem is that sounds kinda "dry" yet the fluids are according to spec. I pumped the pedal several times with the car turned off and on and still the pedal goes ALL the way in. Did I messed something up? I had to improvise with the brake piston caliper tool as the rented one does not have the proper discs, a criss-cross screwdrivers with a lot of elbow grease did the job but still, it worked. Any ideas? I am worried on starting on the other side... that vacuum pump does not sound good, especially (maybe exclusively) when the engine is turned off.
