I did mine last summer after 8 years. Belt was still in good shape. I believe the service recommendation is 6 years. This video explains the procedure https://youtu.be/aPEO3rnFHco.
I just ordered the conti belt (which is the same as the Porsche Belt) from Pelican parts and planning to do it on my (to me) new boxster. The conti belt costs half the price of the Porsche belt and is exact same part. I think I just paid 25 bucks for it. The funny thing is that I really forgot all the main details of the job and pulled my old post to read through lol https://rennlist.com/forums/981-foru...ent-981-a.html

Regarding losing the bolt, take a decent size rag and stuff it in the area under the bolt. Spread it a bit and it should fill the area where the bolt could fall. That way the bolt has no where to drop. I did this when I replaced my belt, and there is no where for the bolt to go if you spread that rag correctly. Just don't forget to remove the rag when you are done.
