2 people would be better to do the job.
Ask someone to turn the tensioner bolt (see diagrams from web pages above), clockwise direction (about 45 degree) by using 19mm socket and breaker bar (with longer extension, if possible).
This can be done from above the engine, as shown on the diagrams.
Then you can slip the belt off the pulley. (from underneath the car)
(of course you will need to remove the splash shield first)
Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to follow the belt routing diagram.
Good luck!!
Note. I did not touch/loose any other bolts.(as explained in other forums).
Just turn the 19mm tensioner bolt (clockwise direction) to compress the spring inside the "Automatic belt tensioner"
The car has an Automatic Belt Tensioner.
