Installing serpetine belt on 1997 Chevy Malibu
I have a 1997 Chevy Malibu. The serpetine belt broke. I tried to replace it and the motor mounts gets in the way. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to route the belt to clear the motor mount?
Im sure you got it fixed by now but I had a 2000 pontiac grand am with the 3.4 V6. I believe the pontiac grand am and the malibu was on the same chassis. When I changed the the belt, I had to support the bottom of the engine with a floor jack, remove those motor mount bolts that get in the way and slowly lower the engine just enough to slip the new belt through, then raise the motor back. I think there is two boltsthat you have totake offand they are easy to get to. Thats how I got it done.
