Get a Haynes Manual and study it carefully.I did mine without the Tools and previously had never done Belts on any engine.There's a lot of dismantling,so go slowly and be methodical.As Kaiser said,when the engine is set in Safe Position and locked there's really nothing to go wrong.If you do it by the Haynes method only remove the 2 outermost bolts from the A/C compressor and loosen off the 3rd bolt.This allows the plate to be removed and keeps the Pump in position.I made the mistake of removing the 3 bolts and had an awful struggle to get the A/C pump lined up properly.I got a quote from an ex Rover Garage of Euro1430 to change Belts and Thermostat housing.I did it myself in a day for Euro196.
