Good morning Mark

From your experience in the workshop, how long should it take to change the belt and do everything that is recommended?

Between six and eight hours Phil

Six on a good day, ten on a bad one, but certainly a full day to do it properly, and not ten weeks either

Thank you Brian for stepping up to answer my query. I like the one day answer. A 10 week job is stretching it and one for forensics

I’ve just done one recently and it took about six and a half hours to do all 3 belts, water pump, jockey wheels, tensioner and also the hydraulic tensioner. It had been a while since the last one I did so I took my time, I think the book time is about 5 hours.

You're quicker than me though, my last one took me seven hours

Just checked the RTS, 12.65.18/20 KV6 belt change 5.05 hours............I am definitely out of practice..........but at least it didn't take me 10 weeks
