Can't afford to take it in to a shop.. Thanks.How do i change the alternator on a 1995 grand am gt?
Take the old one off...bolt on the new one, reattach the belt...
It's on of the easiest parts to change.
The guy below is right about the belt tensioner. It's a bolt your turn that moves and loosens it. Do this with a friend, it takes some muscle.
I say this because if you do it with one hand on the wrench and one to grab the belt, it can slip and you can smash yourself in the face with the wrench. There's tension from a spring to keep the belt tight, and that same spring is what you need to compress to loosen the belt.
There's usually a little picture of belt inside your hood. PAY ATTENTION to how it goes on though, it has to be weaved through the right way or your car won't work.How do i change the alternator on a 1995 grand am gt?
Go to parts store and buy a Haynes manual for your vehicle ($20) It will give you step by step description on haw to replace alternator and also on how to remove belt.How do i change the alternator on a 1995 grand am gt?
theres a belt tensioner. You have to loosen it and just pull the belt off. really simple.
