It's easy but best with a helper. First make a note of routing or take a pic. There may be a diagram on core support. Make sure replacement is right length/rib count. Find tensioner pulley -it will be smooth and there will be at least one. A tensioner pulley has a spring and will move from side-sde, an idler looks the same but is fixed-doesn't move. Usually you can tell by the bracket-a tensioner contains a spring so has a fatter bracket-or process of elimination. If there is only one smooth pulley for that belt it has to be a tensioner to keep it tight. If unsure try to move slightly to right or left to see if fixed. If there is more than one on that belt use easiest to reach. Find a socket that fits nut/bolt center of pulley. It could move right or left but usually away from block. Test it to the right first, if it moves this way you can use the socket with a long handled socket wrench. While you move and hold it to farthest position your helper can slip belt off top most accessory. If it moves left, use a pry bar like a tire iron since socket going left may loosen pulley bolt before it allows any movement. Reverse to install.
