Default Super Charger Belt Change

Looking for the upgraded double sided ribbed SC belt. I would like a Gates or a Gatorback brand. I have unable to find a part number for my 2005 STR. Anybody know?

Brutal if you read this can you explain your belt changing technique again?? I read your post in the XK section but don't understand it?? But it sure sounded like it saved a TON of work!! AVOS you also had a trick or two on this. No draining of coolant and 15-30 minute time to complete. The JTIS wants you to do a lot of work.

Do either of you have a favorite serpentine belt tool? They are quite a few on the market and am not sure which on would be the best for our S Types??

Thanks for all your tips and help!

You can simply order the two sided ribbed s/c belt on e-bay for $30. The single ribbed is tougher to find.
