The leading handle region of a vehicle is ofttimes called a serpentine girth, thanks to it weaves sorrounding contradistinct pulleys in the engine to propel clashing components.

You can find the belt routing diagram on the Pontiac Grand Am on the power steering pump reservoir, on the belt guard--if applicable--or on a decal on the engine. If you can't find the manufacturer's belt routing diagram, use the Dayco belt and parts site to find the diagram for your Pontiac Grand Am by make, model and year.4.
Bargain the band tensioner. The Pontiac Grand Am has an auto-adjusting region tensioner pulley that you Testament loosen to be able to catch the deficient serpentine cestuses off. The tensioner Testament be down below some of the components, however above the crankshaft and accessible from above, though some mechanics say it can be hard to arrive without a customized thin tool.

3. A Pontiac Grand Am may hold one or added belts according to the engine base. For optimal concervation, proof belts every 7,500 miles or 12 months for wear.
Instructions
