It depends on the mfger of the belt and who's selling it.
DAYCO, Goodyear, ETC.
I just replaced mine for $45 and even at that price, it could be cheaper somewher else.
All you need to do is get a 1/2" drive long bar to fit the tensioner.
Relaxe the tension and pull the belt off the alternator pulley.
It is threaded around such that you don't need to pull it on over the fan.
Pay attention to how it comes off.
There should be a decal on the top air cover showing how it threads.
Make sure the belt sets in all the pulley grooves before you start the motor.
Good luck.

That sucks.
I know at NAPA,,,you usually get the right part,,,not like some places. Unfortunately,,,there also the highest price for parts anywhere except for maybe a ford dealer. ):
