Default Serpentine belt 2004 F250 powerstroke

So I am driving down the road last night and this belt breaks. Lost power steering and brakes going down the freeway. Very scarey going 70 down the freeway will very little braking. I was able to get home safely, now for the fix. Is this something I can do easily? Or is this a repair I should leave for a professional? I looked under the hood and I could not even figure out how to get the fan shroud off. I looked on line for instrustions but all the website I found want to charge for information. What do you all recommend?

I think you could do this at home if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. I had to replace the belt in my honda and my father's f150 and at that point in time, I dont think I was too good with vehicles back then. I suggest getting a repair manual and doing it yourself if you are able to take time on the project and complete it right.
