You have to loosen the power steering pump to get that belt off. THis is no easy task. The PS pump is quite stubborn.

What I have done is removed the crank pulley and then taken off the belt, installed the new belt and stretched the crank pulley back on. This is alot of easier than trying to loosen the PS pump.
