no. you need to take off the belt. if you dont, timing will be off, and you will have no car.

my two mech friends told me two differnt ways to do it...one said undo the motor mount jack car up drop motor down and pull belt that way.......other told me i didnt have to do any of that and just to reach down and losen up belt that way..............

I don't think there is an easy way to readjust the belt without getting to the tensioner. For the CV problem (thats what I came to answer lol) I'd just replace the whole CV axle, replacing boots won't help the already damaged joint, in my opinion. I just bought a pass. side CV axle from Pepboys for $55 with lifetime warranty. The install isn't hard at all - break axle nut loose (sometimes you need an impact gun, its a 36mm socket), take wheels off, take off lower ball joint cotter pin, remove lower ball joint bolt (17mm), hit the lower control arm with a hammer until balljoint pops out of it. Take off strut bolt (17mm), then move the knuckle and strut out of the way and pop the axle out of the transmission (pass. side) or intermediate shaft (drivers side). Use some white lithium grease on the shaft that goes into the trans (not the hub side) and instalation is reverse of removal, be sure to put a new cotter pin into the lower ball joint castle nut and beat an indent into the axle nut!
