I just changed both belts on my truck, and IIRC, you do not need to loosen the PS pump to put the new belt on (At least I didn't). It will be a little tricky, but I think I popped it on there with the aid of a screwdriver. Ran it for a day, then checked and it was still tight. It's probably a good idea to just replace both belts at the same time, if you don't know when they were changed last. The alternator will definitely have to be knocked loose, but it's not a hard job especially if you have a helper.
