Just did both of mine, the alternator/aircon pump is straight forward, you'll see the adjuster etc from under the bonnet. Slacken off the adjuster and the pivot bolt and drop the belt down.
Before you get under the car to do the power steering belt, put the steering on full lock, if the belt is slipping you'll certainly hear it then.
To change it, remove the cover under the car on the pulley side, hope you have had it off before as the bolts (10mm) usually snap due to rust, then remove the alternator belt.
You'll need a couple of ring spanners to get at the power steering belt adjuster and a drop of WD40 or penetrating fluid!!
I could not get enough leverage on one spanner so I locked the other on the open end-end, efectively doubling the length and the bolt came undone easily. Then undo the pivot bolt, its the top bolt of the two and swivel the pump down so you can just about get the old belt off. It's tight, mind your knuckles!
When I put the new one on I used a length of wood to push the pump back up and tension the belt, the whole thing is quite stiff and it held while I tightened the bolts up again.
Should take about 30 mins to do both if all your bolts undo ok,
Good luck!

Sounds like it is the belt, I changed mine as it was the original and did not want it to snap on me, when I fitted the new one I ran the engine and put it on full lock and it slipped, you really have to tension it quite hard to get it right and of course you can't get your hands in there too easily to check the tension either!
Push it as hard as you can with a length of wood and 'nip' up the bolts, the check it
Good luck and thanks for the numbers, by the way, your car and Brox's look good..... what a coinsidence!

Hi Zach,
I know I only used wrenches/spanners (open one end, ring the other) and linked them together for leverage, like you say, it was over a year ago and I cannot say for certain but I am sure I would have only been able to get a ring on the pivot bolt.
What you may want do is grab a length of 2 x 2 wood and wedge it behind the pump and against the chassis and try and lever the pump forward.
I hope that overnight maybe the WD40 or penetrating fluid may have worked it's magic and you can get it to move now - one way or the other!
Good luck,
ps. I did not remove the pump pulley - just in case you were wondering!

The cover I mentioned is the plastic splash guard which you almost certainly have off, the bolts will be rusty so use PB blaster or WD40 penetrating fluid on them and try to remove as much of the rust as you can, then use a ring spanner on the bolt, one that has an open ended spanner on the other end, then get another one and link the ring end onto the open end to effectively double it's length and give you more leverage.
Try and work the penetrating fluid around the rear of the bolts.
Yours will be the same as mine, I agree it is hard to get at but it can be done, you just have to deal with the rust,
Good luck!
