My buddy thats a mechanic went under the car to loosen up the tensioner. To do that thhough your gonna need 2 people. 1 to loosen the tensioner and the other to take off the belt. Thats the easiest way that I have seen.

Well i used the "Big Wrench Method" Put the belt on top of the wrench and the wrench on top of the water pump pulley and it slid right on...took me about 30 seconds!
