Answer
Hi
There is a way to acess it without mount removal.
You';ll need to safely jack and support the right wheel. The higher the better.
Remove the inner fender cover.
There will be an 18mm bolt holding the lower portion of the mount on the engine. It is VERY close to the harmonic balancer (crank pulley)
Remove bolt. You'll then need to remove the stud that the bolt was attached to.
Then remove the spacer (about 2-3" long the stud was going through it).
Then the belt will pass though the space left where the spacer was.
Install everything opposite from removal.
Good luck
