My serpentine belt tensioner was different from the one shown in All Data. It looked like the one to the right. You use a Torx T60 to rotate it counter-clockwise, relieve the tension and remove the belt. If you want to hold it in place, insert a pin as shown(an allen wrench works great). There isn't much clearance so you need a serpentine belt tool and a low profile T60. Ones mounted in chrome sockets may not have enough clearance. I used a Lisle brand. A Craftsman 41831 serpentine tool works great. $29.99 is quite reasonable. While you have the belt de-tensioned, make sure that both rollers rotate smoothly.
