What is the easiest way to change the alternator belt on a 1996 dodge neon?

you did ask for the easiest way,,well that is have someone else do it for you,,as for doing it your self ,there is no easy way,, the procedure is the same ,,no matter who does it,,a mechanic will be able to do it faster,,because he has done more of them,,and is used to doing it ,,and he will have the necessary tools to do it with,,you can do it,,if you have the tools and the patience to do it with,,just take your time if you decide to do it,,and be care full,,and watch what you take loose on it,because all of this has to be tightened back up,,once your done,,good luck with it,,i hope this helps.

if it's anything like a late 80s / early 90s VW...



slacken off the alternator adjusting bolts, rotate the alt towards the engine, remove old belt, fit new belt, rotate alt away from engine until belt is just tense enough to be twistable thru no more than 90 degrees, and retighten. easy.

have a certified auto mechanic do it for you...that's the easiest way.
there actually is no easy way..sorry...
take it to a mechanic and have him change it.
you can probobly replace it yourself, but your timing belt has to be adjusted too , by a professional
cut open the old one %26amp; adjust the distance between the ends. %26amp; then fit it.then readjust the distance
The easiest way is to let someone else do it! Seriously, it would be best to let a repair shop do it - it may cost a little more, but they have the proper tools needed (you would have to rent them) and it is warrantied by them. Find a local independent repairman to do the job.....they are less expensive than dealerships and large repair chains.
go buy the belt your self, then have a shop do it. it will be cheaper and less work for you and youll get some type of warrenty on the labor. hey roxy
Easiest way is to find someone else to do it. If you cannot see how to do it, you have no business doing it.
The easiest way is to take it to a shop.
Buy the Chilton's or Haynes repair manual pick up the belt while your their and be done .... It's cake to replace!
