Yep the How to is in the works i may need a few weeks because i work all day and by the time i get home its kinda dark I knocked out the bulk of it this past weekend though. I guess the life of your belt all depends on the abuse because my car only has about 35k on it but several mods. I dont really think its the belt for mine as much as the tensioner. it seemed right before the problem there was a loud screeching like the tensioner or the other pulley seized up and the belt was just being pulled along by the force of the motor. then the belt started slapping on the top of the timing belt cover. I just had new rod bearings put in and a new clutch and all types of crap now this. Its ok she's worth it. I will post How To as soon as i can. like every one said it is very time consuming but with patience and a manuel its been a piece of cake so far.
