No problem. Note, however, that even if you buy a new belt to put in there (hopefully, you went to the dealer to get the right one), you still have to make sure that all the rollers and pulleys are rolling smoothly and not damaged, because if they are, that new belt will snap shortly after you put everything back and start the engine. If you have a bad pulley or roller, you'd obviously have to get those replaced too. Good luck.
