Find the tensioner pulley. Use a straight wrench (I believe a 14mm) and turn the tensioner pulley bolt (the one in the middle of the pulley) counter clockwise (you may need an extension Pipe). This will release tension on the belt then slide the belt off. The tensioner pulley bolt is a reverse thread so it will not come loose when attempting to turn it counter clockwise. Slide the new belt on from the bottom up then turn the tensioner pulley counter clockwise (releasing tension) with one hand while sliding the belt over the alternator pulley (a long screwdriver wedged against the side wall can help get the belt onto the pulley) then allow the tensioner pulley to return to its normal position.

When do you change the serpentine belt on a mercury mountaineer?

The serpentine belt needs to be changed when there is more than a little bit of inter-groove cracking, or the backing is damaged. Consult your owner's manual for specific maintenance recommendations. Alternatively, you can ask your vehicle inspection station or mechanic what the specific mandated requirements are. If you can change it yourself, and do it correctly, that is a good idea, because most shops will charge $100 to $150 for a part that costs $30 at a parts store and can take as few as five minutes (again, if you know what you are doing) to change.
