Take note of how the belt is routed before you take it off. However there is a diagram of the serpentine belt somewhere under the hood. There is a belt tensioner, which is a pulley looking device, and a 3/8 ratchet will fit in a slot to where you can pull it back enough to get the belt off. I would suggest you replace the tensioner while you are at it.

The 2003 escape has a timing belt - but it is not the sort of belt that can cause havoc and internal damage to the engine if it breaks. If it breaks, the engine simply won't run until you replace the broken belt - but the engine won't slam into itself - as it were.
