Well I haven't see a total write up so here is one.
Tools needed a pretty basic... 17mm wrench ...ratcheting socket with 17mm socket. Jack and one jackstand. 25 Torx bit and battery 3/8 impact driver.
You can loosen the belt topside without removing anything from the top with the ratcheting socket driver. The yellow box is where you can apply the tool and remove the tension off the belt. Then I took the belt off the Alternator pulley. The belt will have to be snuck around the Tensioner pulley against the timing cover to completely remove it.

This is why I removed my Stock belt....it was slipping & causing backside wear and pulley grooves to show due to being too tight from having a 4 port Aux fuel system installed as it pushes the alternator out and more stress on the stock belt. I went with the next size up which is K060615.
Next up ....putting the vehicle up on the passengerside with the use of one jackstand as that is all you need.Chock the driver side rear wheel also to prevent rollback as a precaution.Then remove the protective shield from the frame by removing the Torx screws. Then remove the shield and set it a side.
Install new belt with this diagram. I found having an extra pair of hands also works better to hold the belt while getting it all put back correctly. Installing the new belt is easier with someone pulling back the Tensioner and the other up top sliding it back onto the Alternator pulley also. Then you are all done and lower the car down and inspect for proper alignment and fire it up and let it run while watching the belt for missing alignment. If none is noticed ....all done. Shut it down and you have now just completed the Serpentine belt R&R.
All done....Sit back....drink a beer/soda have a smoke/bowl. Enjoy the day!
