Before proceeding with the removal of the auxiliary belt, it is advisable to note the routing of the belt on the various pulleys to simplify the installation of the new one. To remove it, you need to loosen the tensioner (which is the small pulley located in the centre): special tools are available for this operation, as there is no standard hex nut in the centre of the tensioner, but a square section female; it is recommended to access the pulley from below.

Once the tensioner is loosened, you can slide off the old belt and fit the new one.
