Weird, that's not the same procedure as Elsawin and waaaaay more complicated.

When I read it I was scratching my head thinking "I never did any of that!".

Where's it from? Bentley manual?

Never mind, I see that the procedure also includes instructions for testing the alignment and removing various other parts you wouldn't normally worry about when just replacing the serpentine.

lol. Yeah. That was actually why I thought it was interesting - not just replacing the belt, but also the other bits, not that I would hope to ever need to do them.
Elsawin is the bible (Praise Be), but I thought this might be handy as a "ready reference" so people don't have to install elsawin for basic stuff.
