95 Bonneville Serpentine problem

[Teyaku]

Ok I look under the hood of my girl's car and I can't seem to figure why the belt is so loose...Now I got a schematics diagram from Discount Auto and it has 6 pulleys on it...whereas I only see 5 in the car itself...did something break? Any help would be appreciated...

If anyone could email me at [email protected] thanks.

If you were missing a pulley, the belt would be gone; it would take a lot of skill to even get the belt to stay on if a pulley was missing. It sounds like the tensioner could be very loose, or maybe even a wrong-sized belt. (5 sounds right though; Crank, a/c, power steering, water pump, tensioner)

My car is the supercharged engine, so I have a differnt pulley set up, so theres no real good way for me to check. does the schematic indicate what the 6 pulleys are?

The six are, crank, alternator, a/c, p/s pump, water pump, and the tensioner

While we are on the subject of 95 Bonnie Serpentine, are there any helpful hints on removing the side engine mount to change the belt?

Going clockwise, the alternator, to AC, to crank, to water, to idler, to PS, to alternator.

To replace the belt, remove the wheel and wheel well flap to see to the engine. Remove the nut from the side engine mount lower leg. Then use an E10 star-type socket to remove the stud from the engine block. You should now be able to remove the spacer where you can remove the old belt and put in a new one.
