C280 M104 serpentine belt change

[anf6789]

First off, let me tell you guys something, this was the hardest thing so far done on my car. There is hardly any room to move in the engine bay around the belt. It took me and 4 buddies an hour to change this freakin thing. GodDamn, was it a bitch, taking it off was a bitch, putting it on was a bitch, belts are bitches. lol

Hah, I know what you mean, me and a mate changed the tensioner (new style) on my C36, and it was a right prick, as you say, stuff all room, and we couldnt get the fan off, (how do you get the damn thing off anyway??)

dont know, we didn't take it off, just it's shroud
