Dealer wanted to charge 145$ to do the belt change..... what a rip... I did it for the cost of the belt at $40. And it only took me 15min to change out the belt and be on my way.

I could make a DIY with pictures if anybody wants it?

That would be awesome, please do make it with pictures. Mine's a 2000, never been changed. I'm sure its due.
