What the maintenance manual says (with comments)

Remove left hand seat. Unplug connections. (Have radio code, unplug battery before disconnecting seat connections or you create airbag lights and have a trip to a dealer to pay for) Undo 4 Torx screws TX50 (3/8). (You can do without this if you are a contortionist and small, just forward the seats and fold the backs )

Remove rear wall lining.

Remove rear wall cover.

Mark running direction with a colored pen. (Better, make a diagram of how the belt runs over the pulleys before you remove it, note which side is down and the direction it goes.)

Turn Tensioning Roller (a/f 24) clockwise and simultaneously remove belt.

Reinstall new belt.

Reinstall hatch, lining, seat.

Connect battery. Reprogram radio if required (later radios don't need a code)

Vow to get maintenance manual.
