Good morning,
The procedure is below.
Once you have the spacer out, you should be able to sneak the belt through the opening.
Can you post a picture of what you see?

REMOVAL
1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the right-hand splash shield.
3. Remove the connector from the crank sensor. Refer to Engine Mount in order to remove the following components:
a. The engine mounting bracket lower nut.
b. The engine mounting bracket lower stud.
c. The engine mounting bracket lower spacer.
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Remove the belt(s).

Thank you.
That is one of the older models.
The lower bracket has to be removed to change the belt. The newer ones hav an area that you can sneak the belt out.

I understand. Remember, engineers have never had to do any repair job on a car. They just design them. We have to deal with their designs.
