Well, there's your first problem. Why on earth would you spray WD40 on your belt?

I removed the belt from the top and removed the pulley from the bottom it was a little tight but with the car high enough off the ground it is easy Wrenches work good here or a 1/2 inch ratchet with an extension you are going to have fun and take it slow make sure you have that beer on ice for when you are done
