Don't make it harder than it is. Really I was like " wow that is it". just crank the tension bolt two or three times. What are you having trouble with, maybe we could help you out!! You didn't just buy a Boxster, you got a huge support group also

Just my 2 cents...

My '01 Box just hit 60,000 miles so it was time to do this job. I found it easier to thread the belt through everything except the bottom left idle roller. That way I could make sure that the belt was already seated into the grooves of all the other pulleys.

And yes, this an easy "3 out 10 difficulty" job. The belt cost me $31.80.

My only problem was not having a 1/2" socket wrench to do the job. It's harder than hell to find a 15/16ths socket for a 3/8ths socket wrench. Don't get an adaptor for the 3/8ths wrench. It'll only make it too long and you won't have enough clearance.

So now I have a new belt and a new 1/2" socket wrench!

I was lucky. I borrowed a 15/16 open/box wrench from a maintenace guy at work. Later I found a 24mm - 3/8 drive socket after I was done. I think the socket may be from Grainger.

Can you post up results from your radiator cleaning. Is there a diy for it any where?

Do a Utube search for the Boxster bumper removal.

Just did mine. Very easy!

This is the bumper removal and radiator cleaning vid on you tube.

Sorry to pile on to a thread hijack, but it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. :dance:
