Back on topic, I was just looking over the PDF, and it looks like pulling the undertray, fan and such is over kill.

Why not just pull the fan, engine cover, and take the tension off the belt, then remove it, and replace with the new belt?

Do not see the need to pull the undertray, unless you need to get under there to remove the belt? (And if you are under there, why bother to pull the engine cover? LOL)

Any tips on the "easy" way to do this? (I see the tip to just pull down on the belt to move the tensioner, and then block it with a allen wrench to remove all tension from the belt.. Why not just do that, pull the belt, route the new one, and call it a day?)

Or am I being too optimistic on this!
