Being philosophical about these things is all part of the experience.

While I wouldn't like to change the belt at the roadside it's feasible...just so long as you can get the pinion bolt undone; not easy without an impact wrench now that they are secured with lots of Loctite. The original type of bolt on the early engines was much easier to undo and didn't require Loctite to hold it in place. Of course, the problem with the early style was that they had a habit of not holding in place. Sometimes you can't win. I had thought that the old cambelt snapping issue on the X-Wedge had gone away with the fitting of the vented belt cover and/or the spacers between it and the cam housing.
