The 6.0 does not need any tools to replace that belt. There is a tensioner tab on the underside of the idler pulley below the alternator. Pull the belt up on the belt to the left of the alternator and have someone pop out the tab,when your done just pull the belt to release it. The belt is much easier to replace if you unclip the back part of the shroud next to the alternator. Also check the idler pulley for worn bearings as it is a known drive you nuts squeak point.
