Just thought l would post this,

Replaced mine this afternoon as it was squealing on startup and looked past its best.
Although my wife offered to help, l managed to fit the new one myself in about twenty minutes.
I did not remove the fan. I put a ring spanner on the tensioner, and after backing it off, wedged the other end of the spanner under the LHS radiator hose.

A short amount of time was spent figuring out how the belt went around tbe pulleys, as l had not made a note of it.

But the new (genuine Land Rover) belt went on easily, and the squealing has stopped.....result!
