If you don't have a decent tool kit and some DIY skill, I would advise you to get a garage to do the job. Haynes give it three spanners!!!. To start, you need to jack up the car and remove the front wheel. Since you are working underneath, you'll need the car supported. The inner wing liner needs to come off. Then carefully draw the route the belt takes. It's so easy to whip it off, then puzzle out which way it goes back on.
