how do you install a 1/2" belt in a spree?

I've seen a few posts that talk about the advantages, but can someone tell me a step by step way of doing it? I didn't see anything in the tech docs section.

thanks in advance

First you obtain a 1/2" wide belt with dimensions otherwise the same as the spree, it must be a cog belt. Changing is simple, remove the front pulley bolt, pull of the outer half, remove old belt, slip on new, reassemble and tighten slowly while turning engine over to prevent belt from getting stuck and being pinched, then tourqe to factory specs.

so is an impact wrench needed for this?

It helps ALOT, you might get away with a strap wrench and a ratchet if you have a helper.
