how hard is it to change a serpintine belt

i have a pontiac sunfire 1996 and the belt is half way gone, how hard is it to change? how long will it take?



If nothing else has to be moved or disconnected it should take 2 minutes. I'm not sure if your belt goes around a motor mount like some older 3800's did.

All you do is crack the belt tensioner loose and slip the belt off. Some tensioners you need a socket ( 18mm? ) some also have a recess for a

1/2 square drive.

good luck.
