Timing Belt; 95' 850 GLT

I have 143k on her now and the belt was replaced by the dealer at 72k. As per the manual I need to replace every 70k right?

What extra parts should I replace while I'm in there? I'll be buying the parts from FCPGROTON.

Thanks,

Wes

Just a note, I know you guys have later models and need the tool but if you have a 93-95 850 you don't need the tool, it can be reset under the hood in A7.

Here are the instructions:

Flame Trap; 1996 960

Hey guys I have an 850 and I know the flame trap on it needs cleaning/replacing every so often. My father-in-law has a 96' 960, he has a little oil coming from his oil cap. I'm going to repace the oil cap gasket for him and I'm thinking of ordering the flame trap kit from FCPGROTON. Does the 960's f...

went junk yarding today! Found a nice 93 850 GLT to take parts off of. I got the piece I needed to fix the air flap.

Well it turns out that the linkage is broken (see pics). Luckily I found the broken end piece. Super Glue to the rescue! Hopefully that will work for a while anyway.
