TJ:
Do you want the easy way or the colorful-English-language way? The
straight-forward, easy approach involves removing the crossmember in front
of the engine. I have heard of ways of scooting the belt past the
crossmember by bumping the starter, but it seems a good way to ruin a new
belt. New methods are constantly being discovered.
Before you decry British engineering for this situation, be aware that a
certain Japanese company known for relentless engineering excellence
produced a car called the Accord that required the removal of an engine
mount to replace the belt. Boy, is that fun.
