someone posted about cutting the existing belt LENGTHWAYS in-situ, removing one 'side' of it then place the new belt on the pulleys and then remove/cut off the original and slide the new belt fully onto the pulleys


...sounds easy enuff

agreed if you are stripping down might aswell buy the complete belt and tensioner kit and change the lot.cannot think of anything worse than changing belt only for the tensioner to fail in a few thousand miles.
