  1. I had a heck of a time completing this, but figured out a trick! On my 01 996 C4 cabriolet, the belt was badly worn. After rmoving my aftermarket Fabspeed Air cleaner (awesome upgrade), I discovered that I did not own a 24mm socket right away, but a 15/16" will work. Got the old belt off in a few minutes, but the new belt was. Very difficult to get on. I wrestled with it for two hours and made no headway. HERE IS THE TRICK: I removed the tension wheel as it seemed not to nice moving enough. After inspecting, I reinstalled and tightened it heavily by using a 15mm box wrench on the back and the 15/16" on the front. Sock it down as hard as you can and this will increase the amount of travel the tension arm moves. Belt went right on after this, so that is the fix if you are struggling to get the belt on!
