Best Answer

If you are referring to the spacer between the end of the shaft and the blade then it broke because the unit struck something and the spacer (also referred to as the blade adapter) broke saving damage to the engine itself. This is a normal occurrence and can be replaced. Check the blade for damage or bending as this will cause the mower to run off balance causing greater damage. Also, I have seen the blade adapter break as well as the flywheel key keeping the unit from starting.

What is the best way to replace the serpentine belt on a 96 Buick Lesabre Limited 3800 eng for vin G'?

You must remove the BOTTOM bolt from the engine mount on the front of the engine, not on the body. The engine will still be held in place. When you remove the belt the spacer will drop out allowing the belt to pass through. The tension is released as usual. Actually pretty easy once you know about the spacer.
