Info needed for replacing belts on a '01

Searched the forums and didn’t see anything saying how to replace them. The dealer quoted it as a 1 hour job, but would take over a week to do and I have a 100 mile trip to do tomorrow I don’t want to listen to the belt on >,<

So, anyone have a link to some picts of the tensioner pulley, what to do with it, and what the good pulleys are to lube / clean while you're in there are?

Do I need to remove anything to get to them, or is just working around the intake and everything is fine?

Appreciate the help!

The dealer quoted it as a 1 hour job is joke. Any experienced backyard mechanic can do it in less than 10 minutes, and thats if he stops for a beer break.

No problem. Let us know if you run into any issues. Shouldn't take an hour that's for sure.

Thanks everyone!! I got both belts replaced with no mishaps.

I'm a big & tall guy and had some fun manipulating my arms around the main crank pully, but eventually got the "teeth" of the belts in where they needed.

Thanks for the help everyone!!!
