Generally speaking to take a drive belt off: 1. Loosen the adjuster bolt and the mounting bolt, loosen the belt. 2. Slip the belt off of the pulley. There may be as many as four belts. If the belt you are taking off is behind other belts you will have to take them off first. If that is the case make note of the routing of each belt as you take them off so you will know where to put them back.
You don't have to. What you can do is take one bolt off the mount, slide the belt in the space. Then take the other bolt off and slide the belt the rest of the way. Remember to put he last bolt back on.
