Answer
Hi.

Well in order to change the belt it's very very  tight between the front of the engine and the body of the car. you have to take the mount off the front of the engine that connects the engine to the body. first off you have to raise and support the front of the engine so you can remove that mount. do not jack up the engine on the oil pan. jack up the right side of the car and place wood blocks under the oil pan and slowly lower the engine down onto the blocks of wood only until the engine is resting on it. then you have to remove that mount there are 4 bolts that hold the mount to the engine and 2 bolts and 1 nut that hold the mount to the body. once you have the mount off you can replace the belt and hopefully you have small hands. Good luck.
