It depends on whether you have the self-adjuster or not. Without the adjuster the steering pump needs to be loosened at the three bolts that hold the pump to the bracket. The bottom bolt is the tension adjuster. With the self-adjuster, you need to rotate the adjuster towards the engine to slip the belt off. Once the belt is off the tensioner it will move out of the way. Be prepared to use a block of some type to hold the tensioner so it won't hit the battery case. The nut on the tensioner is a 15mm size
Also, once you have the belt off, be very sure you put the new one on the right way. There should be a sticker on the engine cowl that shows you how the serpentine belt should route around the engine pulleys. Once you have it routed right, make sure you tighten everything very tight, making sure you have put enough tension on the belt. This is usually a tough part of the process because you need to get the tension against the adjusters, which keep the belt tight as it moves

96 grand Cherokee doesnt have a fan belt, its a serpentine belt. And if you look down to the right of the fan there is a pully which acts as the tensioner, youll use a socket to loosen it up and then youll be able to slide the old belt off. Keep the box from the new belt so you can see how the new belt loops around each pulley. Be sure to tighten the belt pretty tight so it has minimal play or youll get some sqeaking whenever you run your AC.
