Default How do you all adjust the belt tension on power steering?

Just recently replaced the belts on my supra. The alternator and ac are made easy with the use of the tensioner's. Adjusting he power steering belt seems like a silly design on these mk3's. How do you all adjust the tension on the ps belt? Pry or screwdriver between block and ps pump and tighten the bolt? I'm finding out the hardway that these cars are fun to drive but working on them is a challenge.

Pretty much. To be fair to Toyota though that pain in the ass design does help prevent people from over tightening... Something MOST people are prone to doing.
