Your car requires you to removed the motor mount to replace the belt. The best way to do it is to place a piece of wood on a small jack and jack up on the engine oil pan. Then removed the motor mount and replace the belt. There is no other way to do it.

This is a set of general instructions. Steps may vary depending on the specific vehicle you are working on.
1. Place fender covers over the fenders
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable
3. Disconnect and label the wiring harness connections to the alternator (Painters Masking tape works very well for labeling automotive wiring).
If you vehicle is equipped with the belt tensioner:
4. Insert a 3/8th " ratchet wrench or a serpentine belt tool in the square located on the tensioner
5. Put pressure on the tensioner toward the center of the engine and move the belt off the Alternator pulley.
6. Loosen the alternator Pivot bolt and the bolt that attaches the alternator to the adjustment arm
If you vehicle does not have a belt tensioner:
4. Loosen the alternator pivot bolt.
5. Remove the bolt that attaches the alternator to the adjustment arm.
6. Rotate the alternator to loosen the drive belt and disengage the belt from the pulley. Be careful that any spacers that are used in mounting are kept with their original bolts. This will make correct reinstallation much easier.
7. While supporting the alternator remove the pivot bolt.
8. Remove the alternator from the vehicle.
