I have unloosened the bolt on the tension pulley but for some reason wont break free to take the power steering belt off.

you could always jam the flywheel with a bolt inserted between the ring gear and the transmission housing, be sure to tie the bolt to something outside the engine so when it falls in the housing you can retrieve it back without ease. or you can always bring it to me. my email [email protected]

its the middle one pulley that you need to sort out first to get access and carry on the work further.

On my 2005 Tacoma with the 4.0L V6, I found it easier to change the belt from under the truck. Just remove the skid pan. Plenty of room to install the belt. The tensioner pulley is the one at about 2-o'clock from the crankshaft with the belt nearly all the way around it.

It is probably the tensioner pulley that's gone bad. It can be replaced separately, if you can purchase the pulley separately. As to how to go about changing it in such a small space, it's definitely possible, with the right type of tools. That's why mechanics have so many different shapes and lengths of the same size tools.

The tension pullies are usually spring loaded so if you need to have the belt replaced there should be a nut on the pulley that you have to put a socket and a long bar on to relieve the tension while you remove the belt.
Hope this helps
ADJUSTMENT
Excessive belt tension will cause damage to the alternator and water pump pulley bearings, while, on the other hand, loose belt tension will produce slip and premature wear on the belt. Therefore, be sure to adjust the belt tension to the proper level.
To adjust the tension on a drive belt, loosen the adjusting bolt or fixing bolt locknut on the alternator, alternator bracket or tension pulley. Then move the alternator or turn the adjusting bolt to adjust belt tension. Once the desired value is reached, secure the bolt or locknut and recheck tension.
