Post Procedure for Timing/Balancer belts

I need a procedure for doing the timing belts and balance belt. I looked at 944 garage(now clarke's) but he doesn't have any procedures up yet. Does anyone know where I can find a write up on how to do this, step by step?

Clark does have the info but you'll have to email the request and he'll send you a bunch of info. He's going through a major revision to the "Garage Site" In addition, on the Pelican 944 BBS there was a complete procedure where they were walking a guy from Mexico without the service manuals through the procedure. I highly reccomend buying the factory service manuals and Haynes manuals. It's a small investment that can save you a lot of time and money down the road.
Good luck.

Amen, I really really don't want to pay some guy 5x what I make in an hour to do this forme if I don't actually have to...It's been almost 15k miles since I got a new belt, and it's never been retensioned...

I would be more than happy to post the pics/procedure when i get them. However, i emailed clarke a few days ago(almost a week actually) and he hasn't responded yet. I have the factory manuals on CD but it isn't really clear what tools are need for belt replacement and the procedure is a little fuzzy. Maybe i'm not looking in the right place. Does anyone know if i need the balancer shaft pulley tool to just change the belt?

I just got the info from Clarke. I will see if I can't post the procedure a little later this evening.
