closeup of what the fast front belt replacement system is al about.
the front bulkheads have a large circlip that keeps the 12x21 bearings in place and you can actually remove these and the oneway will slide out in either direction to give you quick access to removing the front belt if it strips.
you will need to loosen the front top arm and remove the dogbone and outdrive to access and then remove one of the steering tie rod ends from the servo saver, but this will make changing the belt much easier once you figure out the most efficent way to remove the pieces.
