Has anyone changed theirs yet and if so how was it done?

 

First get a belt tensioner tool, then remove the right front tire, and front half of the fender liner (so you can bend it back some and see and get to the belt). Open hood, use tensioner tool to loosen tension on the belt, and remove belt.

Once you have the tool and start looking at it its pretty straight forward. Should only take 15 to 20 minutes.

I tried to do it once without the tool, but was unsuccesful , but others have done it without using one. I'll try to take pictures next time I change mine (next couple of weeks)

thanks

 

When you release the tensioner a strip of metal in the center of the spring moves out and you can pin it back with a 4mm bolt through a hole in that strip.
