i've had mine up on a lift only once so far--is there a way to view the belt, at least over the water pump pulley from below without taking off panels? Wouldn't have to take any off to do an oil change of course.
More ...
the link provided above nicely shows how to change the belt but unfortunately doesn't contain links to preliminary procedures.
That is, if you have it you have to remove the storage box behind your shoulder and the carpet it sits on to uncover the fasteners to remove the vertical carpet behind the seats. I don't think you can do this without getting your top to "service postion."
Your owners manual should contain "putting top in service position," plus the procedures to remove storage box, etc., so you can uncover the fasteners for the carpet in front of the front engine access panel.
It's all simple, but having the Bentley manual is a really good idea.
