    I'm in the process of changing my water pump and I have the belt off and took the alternator off and removed the bolts on the bracket but cant get the alternator bracket off still seems it stuck or I missed a bolt somewhere. Does anybody have a picture of the bolt layouts on the alternator bracket?

    Well I had all the bolts loose but it seems the lower elbow above the p/s pump was stuck and i broke this fitting. Be advised this fitting is not plastic like the other one. I crossed reference this and didnt think i would find one but Auto Zone had it for 80.00 the p/n is 305228 for a 1997 Pontiac GP 3.8 V6 Supercharger

    Yup, I broke one off in a 99 I was working on, my 2000 had 2 plastics. Not hard to remove the broken aluminum. tho.
