i have a 98' Pontiac grand prix gtp. i got the 2 serpentine belts replaced for $200.
alternator on a 2000 Pontiac runs off a serpentine belt if its loose then chances are ur serpentine belt is worn or stretched or your tensioner pulley is bad or the tensioner itself..alternator bolts stable does not move like the old setup.
The serpentine belt can be removed by using a rachet/socket and turning the spring loaded tension pulley clockwise. Reverse the order to install the new one. (The pulley should be somewhere in the top/middle section of the drive area.
