On the passenger side of the motor there is a tensioner. Find the wrench that fits it (i can't remember the size) and slacken the tension on the belt. With the belt slack, pull it out of the way of the tensioner and release the tensioner slowly, It will go further than when the belt was one it. Then just take the belt off each of the pullys on the front.

don't you have a diagram on either the underside of the hood or the hood latch cross member?

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

It's a 15mm socket. Turn the center nut on the tensioner clockwise to loosen tension and remove the belt. It's spring-loaded and will pop back into place (if not, the tensioner's broken). Install the belt and turn the tensioner bolt counterclockwise to get the belt over the pulleys, then release the tensioner.
