Pontiac: Serpentine Belt Replacement 98 Bonneville

the engine mount. Is this correct? 

You will loosen the two upper mount nut/bolts, one is behind the power
steering pump pulley, remove the two bolts that hold the ps pump to
the block thru the access holes in the pulley. Move the pump aside
just enough to get at the mount bolt/nut. Then go below, and remove
the nut on the lower mount leg, remove the stud (it has an inverted torx
head) and the spacer. Belt will now come out. You loosen the two
upper mount bolts/nuts in order to allow the weight of the engine
to spread the lower leg of the mount away from the block just
slightly so that you can easily remove and re-install the spacer.

Hope this helps.

Holy shit! I'm never buying a '98 Bonneville!

Have no fear, that monut blocking the belt has been eliminated.

Yo, what's wrong with a 98 Bonneville? That was a good year, no?

Hell yeah its a good year. The belt isnt that hard to replace and how
often do you think it has to be done for that mater? Not often. You
would haft to have absolutely no mechanical skills what so ever to not
be able to change a belt on one of those.

Yeah, I had a 97 Bonneville SE. I changed the original serpentine belt up
around 100,000 miles & I still could have probably gotten more miles out of
it.
