60k pulleys and belt experience

Just finished up the 60k service routine on our 2003 9-5 Aero, and I thought I'd post a comment in case anyone else is about to do this. There's a ton of great advice on this board, as usual, and I couldn't have done this in a little time as it took without all the help!
Hex bolt that holds on the tensioner pulley...I recommend just removing the whole tensioner (with the larger hex bolt) because I managed to strip the pulley's hex bolt in no time. I ended up having to get out the trusty dremel to get the thing off one it was outside the engine bay.
Floor jack w/wood under the oil pan worked great to keep the engine at the right level to remove and return the engine mount and fork easily. Can't imagine anyone removing all the pulleys and replacing the belt without doing taking this off first!
This is up pretty high on the satisfaction factor - if you have the right tools, small hands, and patience, it all goes pretty smoothly - about 4 hours with the stripped pulley bolt side project.
All parts from eeuroparts (awesome as usual), and I finally got a decent torque wrench and power bleeder too as part of the savings of DIY.
