Default Wow! Like the Staples Commercial Says, "That Was Easy"

You guys are all great! I admittedly felt a little intimidated after I looked at the tight space and didn't realize I could take that intake shroud off so easily! I was thinking ahead of how I was going to put my hand in that space behind the radiator, etc. Plus, my car was still fairly hot and I was concerned about burning myself and should have waited. Oh well.

All in all, it took me about 20 minutes. I bought the Gatorback V belt as you all recommended and it is so quiet...much quieter than the stock belt. What is funny is the stock belt still looks brand new. No cracks, nothing. Just some "glazing" I guess on it. DEFINITELY NOT worth $165 at Sewell Lexus to replace. Total cost was about $38.00 at Autozone.

I totally recommend doing this yourself. Very easy! THANK YOU!

Default Tis' THAT Time of Year When Serpentine Belts Chirp!

Just wanted to keep this awesome thread alive from a long time ago and thanks to the experts who taught me how to do this. I was so proud of myself for doing this on my 2002 and never would have attempted it if it wasn't for TALWANGs great write up, PearlPower too. It wasn't "easy" but it was moderately easy. If you can change your own oil, replace filters, bulbs, you can do this!

For all the chirpers out there this fall/winter. Keep this thread handy!
