2003 Cavalier serpentine belt replacement

May 28, 2008 1 Replies

I want to change out the belt, but it doesn?t seem like there is much room to manuever around where the belt is. Has anyone done this and have any tips? Thanks


Here's what the service manual says. Don't know if there is an easier way or not. No experience on my part.
