What is the routing for a serpentine belt for a 1992 Chevy van?
There are many different variations on equipment that determine different routings for the belt. What size engine and what equipment is on yours? Power Steering? Air Conditioner? That kind of stuff.
On the chance it might be a 5.7L (350 cubic inches) V8, with P/S & A/C and has an alternator and P/S pump on the driver side, the A/C compressor on the passenger side, here goes:
If you're facing the van, standing in front of it, driver side on your right:
The crankshaft pulley is the bottom most pulley and is in the center. Immediately above that is the water pump and slightly lower and to the right might be the P/S pump. Up top on the left is the A/C compressor pulley, the tensioner is in the center and the alternator is on the right.
One thing to remember: you have to use a long handled socket on the tensioner to get the belt to fit. It's best to route the belt all the way around all the pulley's except for the alternator and save it for last. Then while applying a lot of pressure on the tensioner, you can place the belt over the alternator pulley. A picture would be easier, but I don't have access to do that right now.
The belt goes around and under the crankshaft pulley. Starting with the right hand side of the belt coming from the bottom of the crankshaft pulley, the path goesto the left of the water pump pulley, around the top of it and down under the power steering pump pulley, all the way up and to the right of the alternator pulley and over the top of it, then down under the tensioner pulley and over the top of the air conditioner compressor pulley whereupon it returns to the left side of the crankshaft pulley.

How do you install the serpentine belt on a 1992 Chevy Lumina 3.1?
Answer .
Look at all the pulleys and you'll see one that isn't really connected to anything like the power steering unit, alternator, water pump or the engine. It's connec…ted only to an "arm". This arm is spring loaded and is what provides the "tension" to the belt. If I recall, there's a nub that you can put an adjustable wrench on and use the wrench as "leverage" to swing the arm and release the tension. Then with your other hand, get the loosened belt off of the alternator pulley first (since it's a small pulley and it's right on top). Now you can release the arm since you have the belt started and the rest is elementary. Reinstall the same way...get it almost all the way on exept for on the alternater, pry the arm to give slack, slip over the alternator last and you're done. This belt is grooved with an exect number of grooves. This grooves match grooves on all the pulleys. Make sure the belt is lined up in all the grooves-especially the very bottom pulley...the crankshaft-it's the one most likely to be not quite on because it's hard to see while you're prying with the wrench.

How do you change a serpentine belt on a 1992 Chevrolet G20 van?
Answer .
This is an easy one. There is a belt tensioner on the top of the engine which applies tension to the serpentine belt. A small wheel rides above the belt and appli…es the tension. Put a ratchet and socket on the bolt found in the center of the small wheel. The wheel and arm it is attached to will move up as you apply pressure to the ratchet. It is only necessary to move the small wheel and arm a short distance in order to slip the serpentine belt from under it. The trick will be replacing the belt. If the label showing the routing of the serpentine belt is missing (usually on the air intake pipe) draw a diagram before removing the belt.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a Chevy Astro van?
First, check for the serpentine belt path drawing on the firewall, which will guide you in removing and replacing the belt. If you can't see any drawing, make one yourself. If… the belt has broken and you have no idea how to route the replacement belt, you can contact a Chevy or GM dealer (the GMC Safari is the same vehicle) for help.\n.
\nSecond: This is a two-person job, unless you are unusually adept or have long arms. Using a crowbar or a breaker bar as a lever, lever against the idler pulley and reduce the tension on the idler pulley, and slip the old serpentine belt off. You can tell the idler pulley from the other pulleys as it has no accessory attached, but pivots out from its attachment to the (large) accessory mounting plate bolted to the block.\n.
\nMaking sure the grooves are on the inside of the belt, loosely thread the new belt around the existing accessories, and using the breaker bar or crowbar, force the idler pulley back and loop the belt over it. Gently reduce the force on the idler pulley and double-check the belt positioning.\n.
\nI have done this three times on my own Astro, with success each time. If you need more explanation, post here again.
