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

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Yeah, I agree with Dave.  It takes about 15 minutes to do the serpantine belt, whereas the timing belt is a project.  If your serp belt broke, I'd just replace it, and make sure your tensioner is still keeping the belt tight.

Paul: I think you got your S-belt and T-belts mixed up at some point in
your
 posting.  You can replace the Serpentine belt without removing the
front
 end. You might, however, need a long S-belt installation tool (I long
rod with 
a 'hook'-ish thing to help guide the belt over/under pulleys.

Do the S-belt now if you are confident about 10K to the T-belt change.

(In my opinion).
