    Exclamation Timing and Drive Belt

    Hey guys this might be a dumb question but whenever you replace your timing belt should you also replace your drive belt? Also how hard is it to do yourself because I am pretty sure I have waited waaaaay to long to change it.

    if you have to ask how hard it is, you might not want to do it your self. and what drive belt are you referring to?

    No, look at the belt to see if it is cracking up, splitting. Then you should replace it. Or just if the car has a lot of miles, and then belt hasn't been replaced, then do so.

    Replace everything! It's better to do it now then to have to do it later.
