All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I just realize how much information I gathered and want to pay it forward to those who shared something before. I'll add in a crankseal shield and bolt capture and use the first post.

I love your guides Christopher72, they are excellent but I do get a bit jealous when I see your garage!

Well on the N52 it takes about 30 seconds to change the belt.
Almost quicker than opening and closing a door.

Thanks for the compliments. It's just good camera angles!
I am envious of B21's setup and the beauty of the property that is peeking at the edges of it. In my mind, I will be building a garage and workshop if my kids leave my house at 18 and don't return after. In my wife's, she wants a kitchen and bathroom update. Sooo...

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hardβ¦
