Yes, I've changed a timing belt on a B21 at the side of the road. Just driving along and then no power. Luckily though it was a busy highway, it happened at a merge so I coasted to the end of the merge. It gave me plenty of space so I didn't have to worry about being nicked. Had the belt changed in less than 30 minutes. And no tow truck came by to hassle me.

Also did a timing belt change in a parking lot but had to get a ride home to pick up a timing belt. So have kept spares in my cars since.

I'll have to take a look at my sister's '89 B230 to see if a way could be found to slip on the T-belt as easily as on a B21. I know I don't like the harmonic balancer and wonder if anyone has bothered welding the two parts together.
