Default Every 60-80K at most. Belt is cheap, labor and the other needed parts are NOT.

Search the forums here.............. probably over 3000 posts on the subject at least.

Figure $1000-2500 depending were you go. $500 if you do it yourself and supply the pizza and beer for friends/fellow AW'ers who have done it before to help you out.

You need (*really really really* should) have the special tools to do it with as well. !! This is even more important if you've never done one before !!

I like 75k as an interval. Do all the seals too. Agreed that the tools are needed to do it right.
