Belt Replacement - Tension Gauge Vs Eyeballing
I'm getting ready to change the belts on my G and I'm a little disappointed AutoZone doesn't have a belt tension gauge on its Loan-A-Tool program. In the past I never cared about being precise on my previous vehicles, but I would like to be as accurate as possible this time.
I imagine I should be pretty close if I mark the original positions of the bolts and get a feel for the tension before loosening everything up.
How have some of you guys done it, tension gauge or other method?

Belts...
My '06 coupe has 30k miles on it (with minimal driving), and the dealership is tellin' me I need to replace the belts. Is this a normal time to change... or, are they BS'in me to make more $$ ?!
Also: where's the best place to buy the belts myself - to avoid dealership costs??
Thanks!
