Do 1, do 2, skip step 3, do 4, do 5, do 6

This should let you push the alt belt off the alternator.

As for the belt itself you'll have to remove the the fan. Im not sure about this part sorry.

If you can get your ratchet (short) onto the locking bolt (1), and then the adjuster bolt (2), WITH the fan in place... then you should be able to drop the belt off by feeding the loop over a couple of the fan-blades at a time. With the alternator quite loose and pushed towards the motor, the belt will pretty much fall off.

Otherwise, it's 4 or 5 bolts holding the fan on. No biggie.

Actually... the power steering pump belt is infront of the alternator belt... isn't it? You just need to do the same procedure to the powersteering pump and remove that belt first, then the 2nd. Put the PS one back on, and then the new alternator belt.

The locking nut for the PS pump is accessible THROUGH one of the holes in the pulley of the PS pump. The adjusting bolt is a mirror-flip of the alternator one. (i.e, facing the right-side of the car)
