I have a 1999 Corolla CE, automatic, no A/C. I was travelling for the holidays and the power steering pump pulley broke loose and wobbles now, and I'm pretty sure the spline on the shaft is broken. Now my car is over 100KM away and I can't get it home until it is fixed. Here is my question:
Does anyone know what belt size/length can be used to bypass the power steering pump and still give power to the rest of the serpentine belt path, so I can at least drive my car home and fix it? Mechanics are in the family, and I'm pretty handy, but I'm working with limited tools and no help where the car is currently parked.
Either the length or type of belt, orrrrrrrr if someone is feeling exceptionally generous can you measure the route using a piece of string for me? I'm looking for the length of the route minus the power steering pump (broken) and the A/C (car doesn't have it).
Thank you so much! May you never break down a million miles from home!
