Driving home I heard noises by the passenger front tire. Made it home. Turned out to be a shredded serpentine belt. Bought a new belt & special tool. Parked on dirt, can't jack the car up. Extremely tight squeeze through the top, but it's my only choice. (I have to work tomorrow & no $ right now) How can I change the belt?

see pics you have to remove fender liner and can use a 3/8" rachet instead of tool or 1/2" rachet also replace tensioner.
