What means "everything"?.
FYI, they don't tell you how to remove the air box, so I'll give you my personal DIY.
Undo the hose clamp on the left of the airbox (facing the engine).
Flip the hose holder up on the right, the piece that goes to the front of the engine, essentially the cold air intake.
Undo the bolt that hold the air box to the intake hose.
Remove the covers on the top of the engine, just pull up on them, and remove them carefully.
Pull up on the airbox, and it will come straight up.
Now you can access the belts.
Putting a new one one is easiest if you have an extra hand, but absolutely necessary.
There are diagrams in the owners manual for belt routing, that are quite useful.
