Re: whine/squeak and belt question (pls read)

["Stuart L.Saum" <vr6stu@duesouth.net>]

according to my Bentley manual, it doesn't seem like too hard of a job;
apparently all that is required is taking out the airbox, filter assembly,
inserting a specified bolt into the belt tensioner thing, to release the
tension, and installing the new belt; I need to do this to my own car and I
plan on it soon,  I haven't talked to anyone that has done it themselves but
I haven't read the responses to your post yet, if you need some more help I
can give you the step-by-step out of the Bentley manual
