get underneath or above either way you can get to it. It is right in front

of the engine where your sepentine belt is. You belt goes around all

your pulleys and the tensioner/pulley. You can use a 3/8" ratchet to stick in there

and pull down on it, that is how your belt comes off. You can also adjust it's tension if you need to with a socket. I would YouTube it if you need. It is pretty easy to deal with.
