EJ20? Drop in to www.ausubaru.com and check out their forum. As far as I'm aware there is no online explanation.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!

The biggest issue is with the belt tensioner. I think it is MY97 and later that have a very sensitive mechanism and must be compressed VERY slowly and then fixed in the short state with a pin through the rod. Subaru dealers have a tool to do this.

found out the new belt was $195.00 + gst at subaru , coventrys had them for $102.00 + gst

My spark plugs were $19.45 each from coventrys so I replaced them while doing the belt .

Hey Ricola/seagull,
I changed my belt about a year ago. I took off the tentioner and compressed it in a big vice and then used a stem from a stainless steel pop rivet, worked great. By the way I paid about $75 dollars for the belt. Maybe you could order one from the states, Shipping cost might kill the idea though.
Hope this helps,
Bob

yes did the same , ( slowly compressed it in a vice ) could not find a pop rivet so used the allan key .
Its to easy to get a belt here , the last one I got from the Usa for my 96 jeep did not fit :cry
