NOOB here....breaking things
so as i was driving my recently bought 89 xj home last night the serpentine belt went out (luckily only 15 miles from my house vs. the 200 miles away i bought it at). after an hour or so i figured out how to adjust it to put the new one on however when i was adjusting the belt, the tensioning bracket under the power steering pump snapped
guess thats what i get for strong arming a 25 year old bolt but the belt just never seemed tight enough.
anyways, is it possible to replace the tensioning bracket without replacing the entire power steering pump? if so does anyone know the part number or where to buy this part?
is it something i could just yank off a power steering pump at a junkyard?

I was trying to make a point to try to save the guy in the thread some money by pulling one from a junker. It's backfiring on me though.

How about this?
"I've heard new CPSs are about $80 from the dealer. I try to get them for $10 from the junkyard when I can."

i did a little bit more research, i believe the part i snapped was the adjustment collar for the tensioning bolt. can pick them up oem for like 13 bucks but ill see if my local jeep parts yard has one for cheaper. i was doing this all in the dark on the side of the road so your diagram really helped me figure out which part it was lol
time to fix that,return my shredded belt, put a new belt on and then begin the search for my coolant leak....woooo
Thanks for the help cruiser!

Probably a good idea to print out that adjustment photo and keep it in the glovebox!!
