Use a power tool to loosen the allen bolts on the PS pulley.

Mine was due

I went with the original factory recommended 90k ,did it with 88k . I will probably do it again though at about 150-160k. Now that I know the time it takes and that I can do it myself ,I'll jump into it more easily for the second belt . Now am I right, is Slye just doing this belt at 193k for the first time?
