Easy...
Pull intake plumbing for easier access.
Loosen pivot bolts on alternator.
Loosen adjuster.
Swap belt.
Reverse.
Sweet deal... POS found a big chunk missing out of mine... I'll have to replace it as well...
Well,
After doing it, I cannot believe that I even asked the question. EASY! I only needed to remove one intercooler pipe too!
My only hessitancy comes from my general rule before open track weekends - DO NO CHANGES in the week before an event. I've seen too many cars knocked out of the weekend from either screwing up an installation or forgetting something little and having a BIG problem on the track.
Goodyear makes a nice Water Cooler/Alternator belt called the gatorback for $12 at autozone.
