I did mine and im no mechanic. But I did have the luxury of doing it while the rad was out as well. Getting the tools to tighten the belt was hard work tho.

LMAO! good luck! my mate did mine and hes a mechanic! he said he aint never touchin my car again after that! muwahahahaaa! and even a recon was like 100 smackers if i remember right!

A bugger without the correct set of tools, I find its best to have a set of flexi head ratchet spanners to hand for this.

its not that bad, I answered a similar post on this, do a search, the thing thats seems to slow everybody down doing this is quite often they dont have a 7mm allen key to lossen aux belt tensioner. But this is not that difficult a job, albeit a little more time consuming than alternator on other cars
