Most cars and trucks today have what is called a serpentine belt which runs most accessories.They are very dependable and usually easy to replace. To decide if your belt needs replacing, simply look at the grooved side of the belt to see if it is cracking badly. A couple of cracks every 3 inches is normal, but if you see cracks every 1-2 inches I would recommend that you replace it. On most cars and trucks the procedure is basically the same. First off, get the correct belt by bringing your cars VIN number to the parts store(located on your cars dashboard) the parts store may need it. If there are two choices, get them both so you can complete the repair. Once you have the correct belt, take a minute to review how the belt runs across the pulleys and also check to see if your car/ truck has a underhood diagram of belt routing in case you need it. In most cases you will need a socket wrench or breaker bar with either a 3/8" and /or 1/2" head on it and possibly a short extension. Some models may require a wrench of these similar sizes.Now that you are ready to go to work, you will need to find the spring loaded tensioner which is generally located near the top of the belt path; it usually has a shinny pulley on it. Look at the tensioner and insert the tool into it and apply opposing pressure to release the belt.Now, simply install the new belt making sure it fits into the grooves on all the pulleys. Start the car to check it and you are done and you saved yourelf some money!
The serpentine belt diagram can be obtained from most Daewoo dealerships. Most auto-parts stores will give you a diagram when you purchase the serpentine belt.
Well its really simple. the serpentine belt controls the alternator, a/c compresser, and the power steering pump. If i am not mistaken the water pump is ran by the timing belt.
water pump is not driven by timing belt. The belt you see is your serpentine. Your timing belt is sealed. I believe you have an interference engine.. timing belt or chain drives your intake and exhaust gears for your camshafts

Get a manual on your car to do the job right. HI, I got a CD ROM manual for my 2001 Daewoo on Ebay. It is a little harder to browse as you would a paper manual but is pretty complete and has a good index in the back. Here is a link to his store. http://cgi.eBay.com/ebaymotors/DAEWOO-LEGANZA-SERVICE-REPAIR-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ300203634192QQihZ020QQcategoryZ6759QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem James

how to replace a serpentine belt on 1992 grand am 2.3l
Replace it.
If you mean the belt fell off the gears while the engine was running, you will have to replace the cylinder head. This is a zero clearance DOHC motor. When timing jumps, slips, or belt slips or breaks, you WILL have broken valves. Be prepared for a lengthy search---even for a salvaged head---Daewoo parts are becoming scarcer by the day---good luck
