Re: Two questions
Can't help much with the belt question, but I have changed my struts. The rear suspension in the SVX isn't difficult to change, just very tedious. In order to access the top mounts you need to remove the shelf behind the rear seats (Where the speaker grilles are. Whatever that area is called.). Getting that off is a bit of a puzzle. As I recall it means removing the rear seat back and cushion, the interior side panels, and then the shelf. You'll see two foam blocks, under which are the 3 bolts that hold each strut in place.
The lower mounts are almost a joke by comparison in terms of time. Jack up car, remove wheels, detach brake line bracket, remove the two large mount bolts and voila, you're done.
Usually you want to undo the lower ones first and have a helper outside the car to catch the strut as you undo the top ones.
