Subject:V-belt questions

It is time to replace my alternator/water pump belt. The owners manual and
bentley do not tell you how to do this, so I have a few questions.

First, I have 2 spare belts that came with the van, they are official VW
ones. I entered the part numbers off them into the busdepot website to see
where they go, but neither number was found.

023 903 137A is 10 X 1075 this belt has large teeth
025 903 137G is 10 X 1100 this belt has smaller mismatched teeth

can anyone tell me if if these are correct for my vehicle? and where they
go?

Second, how in the world do you change the alternator belt? I searched the
archives and they said it can be done with a 13mm wrench, but it didn't say
how. The power steering pump is easy, the AC belt goes through the coolant
hose, and the alternator belt is behind all that. Do I have to remove
everything or is there a secret?

Thanks,
Nathan
