Hi,

You will need to remove the right-side (passenger side) plastic inner fender liner as well as the headlamp on that same side.

Once you remove the right wheel and liner, you will have better access to the belts.

If you look below, I attached the directions for replacing both belts. Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
