The car has 317k miles (508k km) and these belts were 90 k miles(150k Km) well due for a change.

The timing belt showed some small cracks on the outside but the teet looked ok. The alt/water pump would be good for more than 20k miles may be but the power steering belt showed cracks between teet when turned over.

Took me 1.5 hour and everything went well.

Sort or sorry for people that have newer cars and cant do this by themself. Earn a lot of money to keep a car on the road.

I say this is my last multiple belt change on this car because I will be 80 years old next year. And I drive less due to my needs and the pandemic.

I feel lucky to have purchased these 3 240 and even more gratified to have all that help from the people on this board.

When I can I like to share what I know will work for others.

I thank everyone for helping many times.
