Pritty easy. It's just a little hard to get to all the bolts. Whilst the belt is off get a new one fitted.

If you have a full tool kit, you'll be able to do it.

There's a tentioner at the front (under the powersteering pump). When you have slakened that off, the belt should come off a lot more easyer.

The only reason im questioning it is because i have a rattling noise coming from the alternator , now could this be because i need a new belt or because the bearings in the alternator dyno have gone??
