Dudes:

Well, so far my clutch replacement seems to be holding up. I actually got a little driving in last weekend! I tried to take the 914 into work today and I noticed a slight burning burning smell, but I wasn't sure if it was from my car (lots of traffic). I only made it about 2 miles before the "GEN", "CAT" and "EGR" lights came on. I quickly turned around and headed for home.

After work today, I found the belt wrapped around the pully on the engine. I've unwound it and am ready to replace it, but I was wondering how nasty of a job it is to replace. Wondering how to loosen the alternator in order to get the belt on. I did a quick search and didn't find anything right away.
Can I get the replacement belt an any FLAPS?
Any thoughts or comments from those who have done it would be appreciated! I was hoping to get this fixed quick and get back to driving before the snow starts flying!

Thanks,
Andy...
