Subaru used to use this type of belt on older leggies, then went to a tensioner and now the tensionerless system is back.

It's not too tough to get the belt on and off. Just loosen the bolts for the ac compressor and pop the belt on and off with a screw driver.

When you buy a new belt you cut the old off ... the new belt comes with a spectial one-time tool to help you put it on.
