The belt is held in place by a tensioner. it looks like a flat pulley with nothing attached.it has a nut on top that is used to release the pressure on the belt. It is a good idea to get the tool that is needed to do the job. it can be done with regular mechanic's tool. If there is space to use them. make a drawing of the belt pattern before you do anything. it make it much easier to put back on. i made that mistake. Take what ever tool you are going to use and slowy turn the bolt counter clockwise. you should be able to see the tension on the belt release. Slide the belt off of one of the components, and return the tensioner to it original place. notes. the tool needed is not expensive, and can be found at most parts stores. also replace the belt with one that is the same as the one you removed. some have anywhere from 4-7 grooves. hope it helps. duboff

The belt tensioner is located below the power steeing pump pulley. On a 3.1 and 3.8 rotate the tensioner counter-clockwise to release the tension. On a 3.4 rotate it clockwise to release it.

Near the top of the serpentine belt path is a belt tensioner; it is spring loaded and has a shinney pulley on it. Insert a wrench into this tensioner and pull against it and the tension will be released so you can replace your belt. I am assuming your question is about the serpentine belt.
