its not the belts which give tho in all fairness, its the rollers which are what really needs doing during a belt change!

alot of people (and garages) cut corners and costs and think doing the belt is good enough...

Ok then, on a scale of 1 - 10 could you give me a rough figure on how hard it is?

Also how wouldnt it break the whole engine?
