First you take the serpentine belt off lay it out of the way to take the belt off get a wrench and put it on the tensioner pully"use the wrench to loosen tension on the belt then you can remove the belt. Next loosen the bolts put them in a container so you won't loose them.Then lift the old alternator and take the wire loose from it. then to install your new alternator do everything in reverse remember that putting the belt back on can be tricky at first but it gets easier once you did it a few times take the alternator attach the wires you can't get them missed up because they have a special connector that won't fit in any other places on the alternator.Then set the alternator in place"Put the bolts in tighten them then put the belt on By loosining the tension on the tensioner pully using a wrench just place the wrench on the bolt and pull up the pullyshould come up as we'll then place the belt on the pully and release the wrench make sure the belt is completly on the pullies because if they are'nt when you start the car they will slip off believe me it happend to me once on my Buick electra park avenue. The engine is out in it now but I have another engine I just got to get it put in. I hope My information was of help to you.

Can you put 89 gas in a Buick park ave ultra?

The 3.8 Liter V6 powering the Buick Park Avenue Ultra requires only 87 octane fuel. You can use 89 octane but there is zero benefit in doing so. The Supercharged version may require 89 or 91 octane of that I am not sure. Check the owners manual and use exactly what is recommended.

Can only Buick dealers put tires on a Buick park avenue?

Not sure where this came from (unless it was a Buick dealer), but no, they're not the only ones who can put tire on the Park Avenue. The only way they could pull off that kind of scam would be to put wheel locks on your car that only they could unlock (and that you had authorized) and I've never heard of that happening.

By the way, why would you want to put 22 inch rims on a vehicle which people 65 and older drive?Answerbecause people 65 and over aren't on them thangs...22's ya can't lose. LOL @ that answer!^so if i put 22s on a park ave it will mess up transmission


How do you replace alternator belt on a 1982 Buick Regal?

Disconnect the 1982 Regal alternator. Loosen the alternator bolts and slide to release belt tension. Put new belt on ( you may have to remove other belts to gain access) and pull the alternator sideways to put medium tension on the belt while tightening the bolts. Reconnect the battery.
