3.0 Alternator Belt change

[DJ38]

Hello all,
I am about to swap the Big ribbed alternator belt on my terrano 3.0.
Anything I need to look out for, or any top tips, really appreciate guys/girls.

you could snap it, then get the "AA" or "RAC" to come and change it

bu ti dont think its to hard too the "AA" man 20 mins on my 2.7 cant thing the 3.0 will but that much harder

What a bloody job, tensioner ram seized up, someone had sheared of the aluminium nut that allows you to take the tension off the roller,
In the end, removed the tensioner, and made repair, eventually got it all back together.
Zippy, the AA/RAC would have been the better option.
