Removing the body is the official procedure, although ways to do it without have been developed.

It's not as drastic as it sounds, as it was designed for the purpose. Darren

I believe the body off is to do the rear belt, this belt is purely for the fuel pump (if it snaps it will cause no damage long term but will mean no fuel)

A good indipendant can do the belt without removing the body, it’s tricky but doable. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

The body does not need to be removed to do D3 belts. The front one is simple, but the rear fuel pump belt is difficult, but can be done. It can sometimes cause damage when it fails, but this is rarely the case. Also be aware of which oil pump you have and if to change this at the same time.
