Just did long serp belt replacement

Just completed the 60k serpentine belt rpl and it wasn't too bad. I grasped the nettle and stuck with the long belt, replacing the top rear and central idler pulleys.
The top pulley bearing was shot, middle one still felt fine but a little loose.
Gotta highlight the great tip in the link I'm attaching for swapping out the middle top idler pulley. Not only is the instruction detailed, but the tip of using electrical tape in an X to hold the bolt in the pulley and let you locate it as one piece, then spin it on, works a treat. Took 2 mins to swap out that idler.
My tensioner pulley bearing was AOK at 60k so I didnt replace that.
If Saab had thought of that there would be no short belt.
