Answer
This is the easy way..... 1. get a 5/16 bolt and nut 2. open the hood and while holding it un hook the hood struts. 3. place the bolt in a hole on the hinge of the hood, this alows the hood to be open much farher and makes it easier to do the job. 4. left side of the front of the engine is the belt tensioner using a 1/2 in drive 15mm socket and a "breaker bar" pull the tensioner tward the center of the motor to release the belt. note: before removing the belt make sure you know the routing take a picture if you must.
