How do I put a serpetine belt on my malibu? I have tried everyway possible. The motor mount is in the way. My old one broke so I don't know how it came off.

Before you go through the hassle of putting the belt on, it would be wise to determine why that one broke. There is probably a pulley that seized. Water pump? Alternater etc. Spin each one and feel for roughness or binding. Check the tensioner as well.

The coolant reservior may have to be removed if this is the 3.4 DOHC.

The water pump was bad and leaking. I have replaced it. I just need to know how to route the serpetine belt to clear the motor mount.
