Serpentine Belt
Serpentine Belt How hard is it to replace the serpentine belt on an LT1 Formula? I come from an older-car background...you know, with v-belts. I can see that it looks pretty tight up front, but am curious how much knuckle-blood and time I should expect to lose if I tackle this? I noticed today that my belt is glazed and cracked, so I want to replace it ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

That's for an lt1 Camaro but it should be the same belt. Maybe a local store will carry that part number.

Thanks for that. When I searched their site for my Bird, they didn't list a V8 application for that line of belts.

Just some advice, check the tensioner after your belt is on. give the belt a good tug...if the tensioner moves easily back and forth you are fine. if not you will want to consider changing the tensioner soon.
Thanks for that advice, I will do that. Haven't ordered the belt yet...gray and rainy here and I have no garage to work in, so I'll wait until it clears up.
