    The key is the belt tensioner (the small pulley under and to the left
of the alt.) Place a (I think) 13 mm wrench on it and turn clockwise to
loosen the tension. Once the tension is off the belt you can remove it.
    When it's time to replace the belt, follow the diagram on the radiator
support and save the belt tensioner pulley for last. Put the wrench back
on the belt tensioner, turn counter-clockwise and slip the belt on.
    I can scan the directions, but that's about all there is to replacing
the
belt.
