Sorry that it is in Afrikaans, very busy, just copied and pasted. Will translate when I come back if needed.
Ek het hulp nodig asb (voordat ek n kar aan die brand steek).
Ek het vroeer vandag besluit om al drie die belde (externe) op my 1997 3ltr V6 SWB se engine te ruil. Want die aircon ene het gebreek op pad Barra toe. Geen probleem, ons het net geen AC gehad nie en die hele trip voltooi met die ander twee belde.
Toe ek netnou die powersteering se belt wil afhaal het ek nie geweet watter boude om te verslap nie en hom toe sommer so met die hulp van n skroewedraaier afgehaal. Dit terwyl ek die crank draai met daai groot boud (22mm spanner) op die crank.
Ek haal toe die ou main fan belt ook af en vervang hom, geen probleem. Toe begin my stront. Ek sit toe die tweede belt (die ene vir die power steering) op en raai wat? Hy is te groot, kan jy glo en die ou ene wat ek afgehaal het ook
Stomgeslaan, hoog de hel in en sin vir humor heeltemal verloor kom ek toe agter dat die hoof pulley onder het oopgemaak, ja, wyer oopgemaak Maw, die blerrie ding het breer geword, die v-belt val sommer daarin.
Nou hoe de hel het dit gebeur Is dit dalk omdat ek aan daai groot boud op die crank se centre gepeuter het (dis al plek waar jy die engine kan swaai) of wat? Hoe kry ek weer daai pulley weer nouer sodat die V-belt reg pas
Waar sit daai boude wat ek moet verslap om die power steering nader te skuif (want ek het die twee direk agter die pulley van die powersteering losgemaak maar dit het ook niks gehelp nie)
Ek het in die manual gekyk, hulle se net vir my hoeveel newton meter hy moet wees as hy op is, dit help my niks nie, ek wil hom eers styf kry dan kan ek hom meet.
Ek sal waardeer as iemand my kan help asb, My hande bloei al en ek gee moed op
Dankie

This is a pic of my belts when I rebuilt my v6
You will notice the 2 brown pulleys. The top one has a bolt in the middle, loosen it.
Then just to the back of it is another silver bolt on a black bracket (14mm) - clockwise to slacken belt and vice versa.
The a/c belt works the same with the small top pulley of the three.
The power steering pulley needs to be loosened as a whole if remember correctly.

Thanks Marius,
I got sorted at the end. David Maritz assisted me over the phone. Oops, now that you mentioned it, I forgot to loosen the top pulley centre nut although I ajusted it. Maybe it was a bit loose and that is why it moved. I will check that nut tomorrow morning. The AC is just as you mentioned, the same setup as the main belt.
The Power steering is completely different to this. You have to loosen the two bolts directly behind its pulley and you can only do so by working through the two holes in the pulley with a socket spanner. And there is a bolt at the back of the power steering unit (bottom) that you have to loosen. (very akward position)
The belt for the AC was far to short and I will go and change it for a longer one tomorrow. But my Yster started and is going bakgat again.
Thanks a million for the assistance, appreciate.
Now I know a bit more about my Pajero.
