RE: Engine light and belt

[Marc Gallagher <mgallagher@Langan.com>]

have not changed the stock belt.  My supercharger belt is not too hard to
change.  Just make sure you align the belt groves with the pulley grooves.
A good flashlight and plastic arms can help.  I also used a 22mm-1/2 drive
socket on the main drive pulley to turn the engine to confirm alignment.
Since the tensioner is automatic, I would not think it is too difficult.
