Default Serpentine Belt blew, how to replace?

My serpentine belt blew on the ride of the road. I managed to come back with a new belt but can't seem to figure out how to put it on. Is there any way to do it without removing the supercharger belt? Thanks.

No, the S/C belt requires removal before you can fit the acc belt.

The simple way is to remove the fan assembly which is 2 bolts and a couple of zip ties - this gives the access space to remove both belts. The fan connector is located on the bottom lhs.

A half inch breaker bar fitted into the S/C tensioner pulley body and swing the tensioner so you can slip it off, then you can fit the Acc belt.
Hope this helps.
