Serpentine Belt 996
 

My Serpentine Belt for my 996 came a part a little and fell off. I looked at the repair manual and it seems to be an easy "do it yourself" replacement...30 dollar part, remove the air cleaner assembly, 24mm socket... Am I missing anything?

no 24mm socket, use the 15mm arm off the pulley, not the 24 on the pulley itself. But yes, very easy.

So it would have been very easy had the belt not shreadded and one of the pieces wrapped around the inside of the coolant pump drive pully and bent it and I cannot get the peice out thats in there..Its bent out to the point its hitting the metal engine support in front of it :-(
