Hi guys, Ive got 73k on my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Gt
regular 3800 motor. I was thinking about replacing the
serpentine belt. Is this a hard job to do??
What are the steps to replace??

Not too hard. Just pull on the tensioner (counter-clockwise) and remove the belt. I usually get it to slide off the waterpump or a pulley with no grooves just to make it easier. Then check the rad. support for the proper belt routing and reinstall. IIRC, the bolt on the tensioner is a 15mm, but its been a while since I had to do mine.
