A wedge is needed when you have the car up high on a lift. If the car is on the ground just use a jack under the oil pan to raise the engine about 1/2 inch before removing the mount.
Removing a wheel and a splash guard helps a lot. I find the easiest way to put a new belt is to remove the idler pulley, route the belt, wrap it around the idler pulley and put the pulley into place (while pulling on the tensioner - a long 3/8" extension works great for that).
