Since I had never replaced it and I am almost at 90k it seemed like a simple thing to tackle. It wasn&rsquo;t on the dealer&rsquo;s list. I vaguely remember them mentioning it a while back during an oil change service but I blew it off (because it hadn&rsquo;t started squealing and I&rsquo;m sure they quoted me $350).</p> <p>This is one of the easiest things you can replace. It’s a $30 belt, and to get it off, you just need a 15mm wrench/socket to move the tensioner to put slack on the belt. Then it’s just a matter of routing the belt properly.</p>
