You will still want to remove the valve cover and upper timing cover (two bolts) to be able to see the gears and belt when you are doing it.
yep saw the rubber grommet and understand that releases the tensioner bolt but removing the timing cover was the biggest pain to get off (talking about the P/S pump bracket needing to be removed before the lower cover can be removed along with the crank pulley and belts) it doesn't sound serious and the 2 Auto teachers and me agreed if the "squeak" doesnt disappear in a week we will try and retention the belt.

funnily enough the FSM said the belt will last 168,000kms but under extreme conditions (climates above 40 deg celcius or below -29 deg celcius to replace the belt every 100,000km) but screw testing that theory lol
