changing the poly rib belt

[porsche34]

Hello folks.....,

As a new owner of a Porsche Boxter i decided to have a look at the poly rib belt....time to replace.

I know this topic had been discussed before but i would like to know how hard is it to change.Can i do it alone in....... let say 10 minutes?

Is it a DIY and if so do i only need 24mm box and a ratchet?

Thanks in advance

I would give it an hour mainly for gaining access to the belt and reinstalling the cover and carpet. Otherwise, it is a really easy.

Yep - definitely DIY and 1hr tops (10 minutes once you have access to front of engine). If you can't find a 24mm box or ratchet, you can also use 15/16" (which will be a bit easier to find).

Save your old belt for an emergency and put a piece of tape on it showing belt direction. I threw mine in w/ the tool kit behind spare in front trunk.
