Bi-Turbo Intercooler for M276

Is there a step by step guide on removing the Intercooler? I know I need to disconnect the 2 sensor, and the charge pipe's. Is there couple of metal clips on the bottom? Don't know if there any bolts are screws that need to be remove. I'm going to replace the serpentine belt to be on the safe side. Since I'm taking the GLE400 on a 14hr road trip in couple of months.

Try posting in W213 and W205 sections as these also used the 3.0TT. Can the belt be slipped out from behind without removing the intercooler?

I looked from the top and look like it can not be done. I can check once I get the GLE on the lift when I do my oil and brake fluid and see from the bottom looking upwards and go from there.

I have removed belts from other vehicles from below. It would surprise me if the intercooler needs to be removed.

The tensioner is low on the right (driver) side. Looks like a breeze from below.
