Remove the right hand inner fender splash shield.
Using the special tool, remove the power steering pump belt from the power steering pump pulley and position it aside. Install the special tool between the power steering pump belt and pulley and turn the crankshaft bolt clockwise.

Hey RAMIRO,
Use a socket to loosen the pump mounting bolts through the slots in the pulley. These bolt holes which are elongated this will allow the pump to swing losing the belt, install the new belt and apply tension to re tighten.
