Perhaps I can do it with the belts I plan to replace early next year.
It's kinda fuzzy but I think around 190,000 miles. You can't leave the belts on btw. Honestly even if you could why wouldn't you just change them while there? They're cheap and they really quiet down the car at idle. I would recommend checking the mounting bolts on the PS pump for torque while in there.
Sorry you may have misunderstood. I plan to do the belts already. I just don't know if I should do the housing gasket given I don't have a leak. It sounds like more work than I expected for a gasket job.
