Any of you guys done it? Is it as easy as the Renntech directions make it sound? Any words of wisdom or caution you might share?
It's my project for tomorrow or Thursday as it's easier than looking for a job with a much better success ratio!

as long as you've got the right big-*** wrench it's cake. 20 minutes max including taking out the air box and getting it back in.

Yes. 24mm. Is it easier w/a wrench or a socket?

Soooooooo easy.

Whatever the RennTech write-up says. Couldn't remember if it was a wrench of socket. Knew I had to borrow it from my buddy because I didn't havce one.

All done! Yes, that was pretty easy. Probably would have been easier if I had put the belt in the house overnight to warm it it. I had to get a neighbor to stretch it over the final pulley as I turned the tensioner. The old belt looked very good but the squeeking I was hearing disappeared with the new belt.
Anyway, 30 minute job.

Check the tensioner rollers, ones with mileage tend to be noisy and require replacing.
If one is noisy, replace all three.

Easy.

How easy are the tensioner rollers to replace?

GMS

Very easy, all the fasteners are accessible, just nuts and bolts.
