iam going to change belt can any one give me a breakdown,i have never done a belt change before and would appreciate advice.

 

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

 

its a easy job tho. removing belt fully, id always change tensioner and bearings, peace of mind

 

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.
