defrye, you'll have to release the tension on the idler pulley to get the belt off. You'll need a ratchet and socket to grab the bolt and turn it clockwise to release tension. Once the tension is released I always use the alternator as the point of removal and install.
Here's a LARGE photo I found of what I'm saying....:surprised :laughing:

Pay attention to how the belt is routed so you can put the new one on in the same way. In my experience, I always found the crank pulley was a PIA to line up. I always double check that area before I put the tension back on the idler. Hope this helps.
