Belt Change
Pretty sure I understand how the drive belt change works, just want some confirmation. You have to use a 3/8 drive with a breaker bar I think. Which way does it go? Had my belt replaced and am keeping the old one as a back up to put in my off road bag and want to make sure I can do it in a pinch. If someone could post some pics, that would be killer or even just a simple write up. Thanks

Is there a reason for the change? I think most belts are good for 100-150k. I changed my Nissans belt at 150k even though it looked good. I've got 101k on my Buick belt and 72k on a Saturn belt.

Thanks for the info, changed mine mostly because I wanted a backup, I do a lot of hunting and camping, and because it had 75k on it. Is is an auto tensioner, or do I have to adjust it.
