Yep, I've changed mine twice, and you definately have to remove the bolt out of the lower mount. Not as bad as it sounds though, but you do need a special socket to fit the bolt. It is the kind that looks like a male version of a Torx, not sure what it's called. There is a sleeve that the bolt goes through, once the bolt is removed the sleeve will come out. It takes a little wiggling to get the sleeve out. After that the belt will go on.
Hope this helps,
Dennis

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that the easiest way to get at the bolt is to jack up the right front and remove the tire, then the inner wheel well has a panel that needs to be removed, just a few sheet metal type screws, and you will have plenty of room to get at that bolt! Don't forget to put a jack stand under the right side!!!
