This hose comes off the driver head and connects to a plastic water block that come through and mounts to the engine firewall.

The belt routing,
1 belt
2 tensioner 
3 top idler
4 side idler Left
5 side idler right lower
6 side idler right upper
Lowest pulley on left Alt
Pulley under #4 idler WP
Biggest pulley center Crank
Biggest pulley right AC Compressor
I found it easiest to feed the blet over the AC and idler 5, then around the crank and tensioner, then over the water pump and alt, ending up at #3 idler. Rotate the tensioner and pop the belt on. You just saved $250 not letting the dealer do this.

That shiny bolt dead center is the tensioner, and that pulley at the top of the picture is the top idler pulley, you want to remove  the belt from that pulley FIRST, and install it on that pulley LAST.

You'll wan to line up the tool so the handle gets tension at about the 11 o'clock position, this will allow you enough room to press the tensioner down counterclockwise to release the tension on the belt.

The Gates FleetRunner, this is a 100kmi belt that many Semi's and HD Diesel trucks run. You can get it online cheap, yes this is the part number you will need for the M278 engine.

This is what I decided would work best, it's a  3/8 racheting breaker bar from Harbor freight.It can also be locked in place. I'll let you figure out the size socket as that's my disclaimer. You get the tool, your responsible for your out come.
