It's an easy job too. You don't have to be a bright SPARK.

i would imagine with the car running it would only be to warm the oil up so it thins, thus checking if there is a leak when its turned off
i had a belt off mine a couple of times, but check it first. i noticed with it one time it was wet, so the water was touchng the end and running down, and it made the whole thing live
dried it off and all was fine

First time I've ever heard a shock called a 'belt'. How strange.
