V-6 belt questions and far from dealer

We bought a used 2003 95 with the V-6 Turbo last winter. We originally lived in Michigan and have just moved to Yakima Washington. The car is coming up on 60,000 miles and I have been reading about the V-6 belt and pulley problems.
I have had other Saabs and did much of the repair work myself and have replaced serpentine belts on 93s and several belts and tensioners on a Doge Caravan. The closest Saab dealer is in Seattle which is about 2 hours on the other side of the Cascades. Is this something that I can do myself or does it require some expertise that the dealer would have?
Is the problem an alignment issue after pulley replacement or something else? What parts are needed for a 60,000 mile service. The V-6 turbo is a great car climbing the grades in the mountains, but being so far from a dealer is making me nervous.
Thanks for your help
Elliott
