I find the belt isn’t the issue, it’s not having the proper tool to lever the tension pulley. Both times I have done the timing belt, the serp was almost the worst part. If you don’t have that tool, what is the best method to putting new one on? I did see that tool online somewhere and it was some obnoxious cost (been a long time since I looked).

My general practice is to keep the "old" belt as a spare, when I get it changed. ?The idea is that I know it fits and it will likely be in good enough shape to get me to where I can get a replacement. ?Of course this means you have to do the belt change twice, in the case of an unforeseen failure. ?OTOH you don't have to spend money on a replacement until later. ?I use this scheme on ignition parts, sensors, thermostats, etc. ?I dislike being stranded for a simple part that can be swapped out in the field. ?./Mike
