Power Steering Pump Drive Belt
I know what the maintenance schedule says, but...
Anybody have ideas on how long this typically lasts?
Also, how easy is it to change with the engine in the car?
Thanks!

They last lots and lots of miles...hardly any reports of it failing. I replaced one at 85,000 miles with only superficial wear, no cracks, etc.
On a lift, its a bit of a bear since there are no adjustments to give the belt slack. On jackstands, its just that much harder. However, its certainly doable but be prepared to swear a lot!@
Cheers,
Mike

I'd replace it at somewhere around 100K miles and time it with a clutch job.
