Cam belt change 900 1994

I did this on my '95 960 recently. Pretty simple really. Definitely not 710 pounds of labour involved.

The one thing to be careful about is the hydraulic tensioner. After removal, it must be compressed and locked (a nail will do) before reinstallation and installation of the new belt. It can be compressed i a large bench vice, but proceed very slowly. Going too fast can burst a seal. I went by feel. Tighten the vise until resistance builds up, wait about 30 seconds, then tighten a little further. The whole process will take 5 or 10 minutes.

I took a close look at the idler pulley and tensioner pulley. They seemed to be running low on lubricant, so I removed them, popped off the dust shield, cleaned out the old lubricant the best I could and relubricated them. This is not best shop practice, but it is quick and easy. As long as you are careful not to introduce any contamination the bearing should continue to operate satisfactorily. Proceed at your own risk.
