I'm not sure about the 2.0L but with the 2.5L it makes it much easier to go in from the wheel well. There should be a plastic cover in the wheel well. Remove that and you should have much better access to the engine. You will then want to start to put the belt on and then when you are trying to get in on the last pulley you need to remove the tension with the tensioner and the belt should slide right on for you. Like I said though, this is how it is on the 2.5L not sure about for the 2.0L, I don't think there should be much difference with how to do the belt. Hope this helps
