Just remember to take a pic of how the belt is before you remove it.
Thanks Mark I apprecaite the help.

Think I'll get a new belt and keep the old one as a spare. My old Navara did one of these belts once just driving along. Took out the bottom radiator hose & something else as well from memory. You don't go far once they brake.
