Loosen the alternator and push the alternator down and pull the belt off, put new belt over crank and water pump pulleys and around alternator pulley and pull up on the alternator to where the belt is tight and tighten the alternator bolts down.
The belt itself costs around $20 so if you do it yourself there you go... idk how much a garage would charge

on the front of the engine and it is run by the serpentine belt.
Loosen the tensioner pulley on your Monte Carlo 3.1 liter engine. Slide the tensioner pulley to the right. The serpentine belt can be removed. Put the new serpentine belt on and slide the tensioner pulley to the left.
Near the top of the serpentine belt path is a belt tensioner; it is spring loaded and has a shinney pulley on it. Insert a wrench into this tensioner and pull against it and the tension will be released so you can replace your belt. I am assuming your question is about the serpentine belt.
serpentine belt.
There is no timing belt. It has a timing chain that should last 150K at the least. Chevy says its not wearable.
there is no way to tighten your belt it has an automatic belt tensioner if it is making noise it may be the tensioner or the belt also check to see if it routed correctly
What type of belt? What size engine is it also?
take off the serpentine belt and crank pulley and you will need a harmonic balancer pulley to get it off.
unhook the battery, remove the cerpintine belt, remove the wires, remove the bad alternator, put on the new alternator, replace the wires starting w/ the negative one, replace the cerpintine belt, tighten the belt.
A 1997 Monte Carlo does not have a timing belt just a chain!
