Do to a leaking valve cover gasket I must change the fan belt. It appears that it runs off the crankshaft pulley which drives hydraulic pump. Can anyone tell me how to change the belt.....simple or not ?

Get one of the adjustable length bolt together belts and cut the old one off and thread the new one around where it needs to go. Bolt it together at the right length and adjust the tensioning device.
