It actually is quicker to do this with the engine off and the car in forth gear. You can push forward on the belt on the left hand side of the pulley -push the car forward and the belt will pop right off. Put the new belt over the generator pulley and the left hand side of the crank pulley - push the car forward another 6" and it is on.

... I'm sure it's safer too!
This must have been pretty scary for the first guy who decided it just might work...
