How bad is changing the Accessories Belts on the NA

[Screamin'Screw]

My alternator belt looks a little shabby. How much work is the swap?

Easy...

Pull intake plumbing for easier access.

Loosen pivot bolts on alternator.

Loosen adjuster.

Swap belt.

Reverse.

Sweet deal... POS found a big chunk missing out of mine... I'll have to replace it as well...

Well,

After doing it, I cannot believe that I even asked the question. EASY! I only needed to remove one intercooler pipe too!

My only hessitancy comes from my general rule before open track weekends - DO NO CHANGES in the week before an event. I've seen too many cars knocked out of the weekend from either screwing up an installation or forgetting something little and having a BIG problem on the track.

Goodyear makes a nice Water Cooler/Alternator belt called the gatorback for $12 at autozone.
