Oddly enough i was just looking for this information for you. Im sure it can be done with the motor in the car.

It is recomended that you change the tensioner, tentioner pulley and water pump too while your at it.

nah its not a rip, i checked it, its just dry as hell, i spray in some belt ease or some untrustful **** like that and it stops... but i dont wanna keep using that, im afraid it might break a tooth, or it might slip or something, and trust me, the belt has MANY miles on it
