How do change the drive belt on 2003 Subaru Outback LL Bean with a 3.0 H6 engine?
By drive belt; I assume you mean a timing belt. On a 3.0 H-6, there is a timing chain in place of the belt (Very durable). It is housed behind cast aluminum timing chain covers on the front of the engine. On an engine with a timing belt, I would do the change myself; but I recommend that a timing chain be replaced by a Subaru dealer simply for the fact that the tension, alignment, and timing can be hard to set yourself with a chain.

- Scotty, there is no service for the Transmission on the S80. The drive belt is a pain in the neck and a long 14mm wrench is needed to collapse the pulley. You also have to remove the dampner cover on the crank pulley. Not sure you would want to tackle that one.
