The Mercedes-Benz W126 has the proud distinction of having 5 different drive belts. There are two belts that drive the power steering pump, and these belts also drive the cooling or water pump. If you are servicing or replacing your pump you do not need to remove the A/C belt, air pump belt or alternator belt to perform these jobs, but I do recommend if you are replacing the power steering pump to replace the power steering belts while you are in there. Also, it is very important to have two good belts driving the pump, if one of your belts goes bad or breaks replace it right away, never run the car with only one belt.

The power steering pump is located on the upper driver side of the engine and can be removed following our DIY steps.
