Well, I took a look last night, it's pretty much all there as you say (I didn't figure out how to get in there, but I can see it all), but I don't have a belt, and can't take today off to do it. So, I took it to the (trusted) local service station, and printed out some notes I found on it (such as which bolt is left-hand threaded, etc) and a procedure, so hopefully I can have it back tonight. I'm usually not keen on letting others work on my cars, y'know? But, if they have or can get the belt early enough today, I can drive it tomorrow. I'll post any useful info on the procedure that I learn. Dave Hinz
