[s-cars] Serpentine Belt popped - do I need to take the front end off?

[Paul Heneghan]

Hello chaps,

My serpentine belt has just snapped - 110k miles.

I've looked through the archives, and I've found lots of reference to
replacing the S-belt at the same time as the T-belt (there's a great
write-up from Fred Munro), but nothing about replacing the T-belt on its
own.

Do I need to remove headlights, crossmember, etc.?

Should I do the T-belt while I'm in there (10k miles early?).

Can I leave the S-belt tensioner, or should I replace it?

Thanks,

Paul
