As I remember this is a multiV serpentine belt and I am sure it runs through an engine mount on the drivers side. Support the engine from beneath and remove the mounting. Then draw out on paper the pulley and belt routing before removing the old belt to ensure correct refitment. You can prise the idler/tension roller relaxing its spring pressure to release the belt with a long bar or screwdriver. This should allow you to slide off and on the belt. Release the pressure on the idler to take up the belt tension. Beware this bites if it springs past your lever !!!

Good luck Steve
