How do you replace a 2005 Chevy cavalier serpantine belt?

you need to get a wrench and turn the bolt (relieve the pressure on the pulley) on the tensioner pulley and remove the belt then turn bolt (relieve the pressure on the pulley) to reinstall it. The tensioner pulley is the one that is not your A/C pulley not your alternator pulley and not your crankshaft pulley its the only one that's left no hoses or plugs going to it. not sure how to explain it.

Is the motor in this 1993 Saturn slY going to overheat by using a radiator out of a Chevy Celebrity?

If the Chevy Celebrity radiator is smaller that the Saturn radiator it might well overheat from not enough cooling capacity. If the Chevy Celebrity radiator is the same size or larger than the Saturn radiator I would think it would not over heat.

Does the 1995 Pontiac Sunfire have a tension pulley?

If your car has a serpentine belt it will have a tensioner pulley. A tensioner pulley is easy to spot. All of your bolt on accessories i.e. water pump, alternator, a/c compressor etc. will have a pulley to run each one. There will be 2 other types of pulleys, a idler pulley and a tensioner. The idler pulley will be a single stationary pulley with a bolt going through the middle and the tensioner pulley will be on a spring loaded piviot.

How do you replace the main cooling fan on a 1996 Chevy S-10?

You will need a 1 1/4" wrench, and a holding device for the pulley. If ther is nothing physically wrong with the fan, don't bother with it. If you think the clutch is bad- better make sure. The only place to get a good new one is from the dealer at a cost of about $1000.00. Sure, you can get one from the parts store, but it isn't going to work the way you want it to. You will end up with a noisy fan.
