Assuming you've exposed the timing belt by removing the oil cooler and belt cover, covered elsewhere:

-Position a 24mm socket over the Lower Pulley's Center Nut with a handle attached. Long Breaker Bar not required.
-Insert a thin but strong, wide-ish wedge at the point the belt meets the pulley ( I used a Performance Tool # W80645) But other items will work.
-Rotate the Pulley a few degrees, de-railing the belt partially, pull out the tool, continue rotation. The belt will pop off. Remove from upper pulley.
-(Or just cut it off. Then look at it and realize it's fine, at my 36K mile interval anyway.)

-Install new belt over the upper pulley
-Get it started on the lower pulley as far as possible by hand
-Rotate the pulley until it pops on and seats
-Check tension. If the original belt was tensioned correctly, the new one will probably be also,

With my 08 Norge, getting at the tensioner to remove the belt in the manner prescribed elsewhere was impossible without removing all kinds of plastic, the header pipe, etc. figured there had to be an easier way. And there is.
