I wrote the steps and created a pdf document for you. Unfortunately, I can't attach the document. I submitted a request to the administrator of this site to allow me to post an attachment.
Thanks.

Someone asked for a diagram of the belt setup a while back where I posted a response. Here is the forum thread:

It's pretty simple to do - but I am away from home and don't have my manual handy to post the detailed instructions. There is a tension-pully that needs to be pryed to slip the belt off. Also, becareful of the crankshaft pully. It is plastic, not metal, and I cracked it when trying to remove the belt, which wound up costing me another trip to the dealer and $40.
