piece of cake to do really just make sure the marks are lined up properly nothing major has to come off. bottom pulley is a bit of a pig to get off

Cool, don't suppose you know what size Torx bit its do you ?
Are the rollers / tensioners usually ok or they need changing ? just changing it before i sell it so don't wanna spend money if not needed.

I wouldn't even consider doing the belt swap without doing the rollers.
