Re: Belt change?
good work!
if i remember correctly the alternator has one bolt front to back and one bolt back to front the latter is the fiddly one, need to get a ratcheting ring spanner?......

Re: Belt change?
be wary of not tightening enough or overtightening. I reckon a repair manual is a must coupled with owners manual - cheap investment.
