My Belt shredded last night. I have a 15% pully.

A. What is the spec on the replacment belt..

B. How hard is it to change the belt myself, Does any one have a PDF file detaliing how to do this?

 

Did you install the pulley yourself? If so, it's the same thing.

Here is a how-to to install the pulley. Basically everything except actually putting on the pulley, but that'll show you how to get to the belt.

Right now, I have a goodyear gatorback belt on the car, and boy is it noisey! Anoyingly so. It's a Goodyear Gatorback Poly-V belt, #4060537. What really makes me laugh is that it says "the quiet belt" on the package! Far from it.

I don't know the Napa replacement number, but if you search the forums, there's lots of part numbers floating around.

The swap is easy. It's only 4-5 bolts on the motor moutns, and a few other litttle bits. When you're good at it, you may not even have to remove the wheel well liner to swap them out. But you do need the belt tensioner tool.

..........and also make sure the belt tensioner hasn't broken its stop.

 

you can change the belt by taking off passenger front wheel, pulling back the fender liner from the front and tucking it toward back- use tensioner tool to loosen belt and put new belt on --no need to do anything with motor mounts or lift engine.

 

Agreed. I've done 3 at the track similarly in about 15 minutes each. We jacked the engine up a bit to make more clearance (removing the few engine mount bolts to do so from the upper engine mounts) and make the job easier. It helps to slide the tensioner back and lock it into place using a small screwdriver or nail, too.
