Replace Alternator on Buick 95 Skylark

I need to replace my alternator on a 95 Buick Skylark. After a quick glance it seems the difficult part is dealing with the belt. Getting the alternator on and off looks simple enough.

Can anyone give me instructions, or a link, on instructions on how to do this process?

TIA.

I would help to know which engine you have.

If you can't figure out how to get the belt off, you should leave it alone.

It is a 3.1L V6.

Thanks Junior. That's what I'm working on right now.

Hehe. Saw this: "If it's a V-6, it's at the bottom of the serpentine belt. There should be a diagram of the belt on a label where the passenger's side shock absorber is, under the hood. "

and this:

Just get a bar on it to slacken it so you can get the belt off the alt. Might be able to use a wrench to turn it.

3.1 = 18mm socket on the tensioner pulley. Make sure your car has the belt diagram.
