    How about when removing almost everything else from the wheel well while re-doing the suspension.

    This is a 'no brainer' and an appropriate 'while I'm at it' effort...


    (patience...threads on all this coming soon;))

    hadn't thought about this before. i'll be doing my belts next year. my car was damaged on the drivers side and all the bushing were replaced probably with some suspension parts. the passenger side bushings look original so i suppose i'll do them along with the belts. it certainly gives the belt service easy access.

    When I did my suspension, I bought the required bits to do the belt change but after 2 months to get the suspension in I figured I'd wait til Fall & drive the Summer.
    Good luck!
