When you need to replace your engine/serpentine belt, you will need to purchase the serpentine belt tool from Harbor Freight ($17). Once you have it, you need to remove the front passenger wheel and then remove the inner wheel well guard that goes right along side the engine. Once you have done that you will need to cut your serpentine bar that you got from Harbor Freight down to about 16 inches. Once you've done that it will fit up on the idler pulley and also clear front passenger drive axle when you release the tension on the idler pulley to remove the belt.
Note: When removing the splash guard in the wheel well, they are held by plastic pins. The first thing you do is remove the inner part of the pin by wedging a screwdriver under it and wiggling it out. Once you've done that the outer part of the pin will then be able to be removed. The best tool to use is an upholstery tool that makes the pin removal the easiest. But in a pinch you need to just use a flat head screwdriver. Make sure you do the two-stage removal with the inner part of the pin coming out first and then the second part of the pin coming out once the middle is removed. Once you've done all that just pull back the wheel well splash guard and pin it against the rotor. Then crawl under and you will gain full access to the idler pulley and belt. Good luck.
