The tension pulley is in the center of the sepentine belt, it is one of the smaller pullies that is smooth on top. You will feel a bolt on the fron of it (a 15 millimeter I believe) you need to put the wrench on it and hook a cheater bar, or another wrench (lock the ends together) and pull down towards the front of the car. When the belt is loose slip it off. It is much easier to do with two people. CAUTION! This pulley is sring loaded and very hard to pull down, if you loose your grip or your wrench slips you or the person helping could be seriously injured.

How do you Change the serpentine belt on a 1998 Lexus ls 400?
It turned out to be quite simple. The tension pulley is spring loaded. Just put a wrench on the nut of the pulley shaft and you can move the pulley to relieve the tension (do not to loosen the nut) and slip the old belt off. Same procedure to install the new belt. Tension pulley is behind the radiator and a little left of center. Just remove the air intake duct above the radiator. Mine is a '97, but should be similar.
