Glad you decided to DIY. Changing the belt and tensioner isn't hard job to do.




man, I'm doin my best, but there's about a total of 1.5 inches to work with in there! I ordered the shortest torx bit I could find, and I've done everything I can think of. all I seem to be doing is stripping the bolt...anyone know what kind of labor this job is rated at as far as # of hours? I'm gonna try a little more but I don't want to completely strip the bolt trying...
