So, renovating my house has taken most of my time over the past 18 months, and lots of little knicknack items have been building up with my V70. I just changed the oil, flushed the tranny, fuel and air filters, and changed the plugs. Upon looking at my manual, I realized the timing belt is way overdue. Looks pretty tight over there, is it easy enough for an average DIYer to do, tensioner, sbelt and all, or worth the labor to have it done? I don't plan to change the water pump.

Also, any suggestions where to get the OEM round top torque bracket for my '01 V70 T5? I ordered the poly bushing from IPD that was for my year model, but apparently the car has been retrofitted with the newer rectangular one (which still stinks) so my bushing is collecting dust and my engine still clunks when I put it in gear. I've checked with Voluparts a couple times here in Atlanta and they always say they will call back, lol.
