So how much of a pain is it to do the accessory belt

Mine is starting to squeal like a pig in the cold then continuously chirp at idle I can feel the ridges on the belt are in pretty rough shape but the think looks like a total nightmare to do compared to my sti's belt any pointers to make it easier I know about removing the front wheel and releasing the tension then putting an key in there to stop it is that all there pretty much is to it.

With 2 sets of hands once the wheels off maybe 3 min.

By yourself maybe 10 once the wheel is off. I have a copy of the diagram in my tool box makes referencing the belt path easy

^What he said. Its a simple job. 1/2" breaker bar turn the tensioner slip an allen key in the hole to hold it pull off old belt and route the new one. Just be careful when you turn the tensioner as people seem to have a bad habit of breaking them. But if youre careful and keep it straight and true you shouldn't have any issues. The only tricky part is figuring out how the thing is routed. But even that isnt difficult its just a matter of figuring it out by referencing the diagram and using common sense as to which side the belt would be riding on the pulleys given that some are flat and others aren't.
