    the belt is called a strectchy belt . you cut off old one and crank on new belt like we used to put on a bycycle chain . Sounds like fun!

SOURCE: 2008 ford taurus door panel removal

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

What! Not likely the pump, if it has fluid. Most likely the steering rack is shot. Have a reman installed and flush the cooler or the new one will fail. Install a FILTRON magnetic filter, in the return line also. Use Mercon or Mercon V Fluid,not auto part store **** and never any sealers. If you want ,you could make up a blend of Lubegard and Mec V. I do all the above,If it isn't like a new car after all that,check out the ball joints , but especially the bearing assy on top of the struts. They could be half your stiffness. What causes these steering racks to fail ,is because, no one changes the fluid every couple years,just like you never flush brake fluid or trans fluid. I made a living in the trans business ,just on Taurus and Chrysler Caravans, for that very reason. Don't you just love neglect?

How to bypass AC compressor for a 2008 Ford Taurus X limited 3.5L motor

That's not the way you do it, you remove the AC Compressor and fit a Bypass Pulley in its place. The belt and routing remain the same.

Power steering stopped working, battery light came on, car overheated on a 2001 taurus: being told by mechanic that the air conditioner compressor needs to be replaced. Sounded to like the belt needs to...

unforutionatly your mechanic may be right if the ac compressor locked up it will eat the belt and make the other things not work like the water pump ,altanator,power steering.esay to check though remove belt see if you can turn the ac pump by hand.if you mechanic is worth his salt he will even show you this.
