Just did this fix on a 98ti. Only thing extra I did was to move the PS res. Just unbolted it and dropped it down. Made it way easier for my fat hands to get in there. My leak was a quart every 50 miles. 4 hours, start to finish. I didn't change the oil, but i did put a new filter in. No broken bolts. A bit of clarification: where the tutorial says to use a 16mm wrench on the tensioner. I think they meant to say a 16mm socket. I used a 1/2" drive 16mm socket. Drop the ratchet in to the left of the radiator hose. With the belt ON, I adjusted the ratchet till the handle was down near the water pump pulley. That way, as you release tension, the ratchet should stop close to the upper hose, but not touching it. The 4hr included running it till at operating temp. Only have four little drips on fresh cardboard. That's more than likely just some residual.
