| Hello,
Do I really have to remove a motor mount to get the serpentine belts out? This is on a 98 Riv.
Thank you.

| Unfortunately, yes. It's a lot of fun too. See link: https://rivperformance.editboard.com/series-ii-engine-transmission-f4/write-up-replacing-belts-and-pulleys-t725.htmOnly takes about 2-3 hours, though. I recommend using ramps and a jack with wooden support to raise the engine. According to the write-up, you must remove the cast metal bracket, but I did not need to, even before cutting the spacer (I recommend cutting it in half). Do both belts while you're in there, order cheap from Rockauto.com if you can. The good news is, most other things are not as difficult to work on with this car. Good luck! _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30
