what is the best way to change the belt, without removing half the engine.

Dave Collins, October 2006

1. Jack up and remove front offside wheel.
2. Remove under engine cover.
3. You can now access the belt tensioner.
4. Put 17mm socket on tensioner nut and lift. Slide belt off tensioner.
5. Remove belt.
6. Slide new belt in from top and lay over alternator gear.
7. Place on all other wheels, lastly on tensioner.
