This is such an easy job.
I changed mine for the first time on Saturday, it took honestly no more than 30 mins, and that included taking my time to make sure everything went smoothly.
I reckon that I could change one in 10 mins now.
Procedure is to insert a 1/2" ratchet extension in the square hole on the tensioner pulley mechanism. Pull towards the front of the engine and insert a 6mm set screw or drill bit or something else similar into the two small holes that will now be aligned.
The belt will now come off easily.
The process is made easier if you take off the road wheel and the plastic inner cover.
I did not do this , and the job was still easy.
I bought an original belt from SAAB which cost me £35 GBP which I thought was expensive, but then I guess I would rather be safe in the knowledge that its an original part.
GOOD LUCK
