Great video !!! SUPER THANKS
Excellent video, well detailed. Here is another old video for "fun" …
A young man who shows you in real time (3 minutes) how he changes the belt of a Boxster 986 (need a simple 24 mm wrench for idler pulley); there is nothing to settle.

DO NOT let the wrench slip. The edges of the sheet metal are sharp. Ask me how I know.
Excellent, once again. Quick question, when I had the belt changed last year, afterwards, I noticed a very very small “play” with the water pump pulley. Very little however. It rolls fine. Did you notice the same? The belt was changed by a Porsche mechanic and he also changed a few pulleys and the alternator. But never said anything about the water pump going bad. I just checked his work after and that is when I noticed the very small “play/mouvement” with the water pump pulley. Hence my question.
