Here is the diagram. FYI to get the belt off you need to loosen the tensioner bolts. The catch to that is that the engine mount bolts to the tensioner, so you need to support the engine, then remove the mount for access. I have been able to coax the belt in between the tensioner pulley and the front case so you may want to try that first.
