There isn't a whole lot of extra room around the serpentine tensioner pulley so here is what I do...
I put a box end wrench on the tensioner pulley nut. Then I push on the opposite end of the wrench with a long piece of wood... something thin enough to fit in the space you do have. I think I use a board that is about a half inch wide/thick. It helps if you have someone else remove the belt when you push on the wrench end.

I let Jiffy lube do it. It only costs about $15 to learn that they had to use a little effort and it took two people with 4 hands. 2 to hold, 2 to change. There should be a bolt on the tension pulley. You would move it in the opposite direction of the tension. Watch were you use for leverage!

How do you remove the tension on the tension pulley?
It's function is to keep the tension on your serpentine belt at the correct tightness. On most vehicles you will need to take the tension off in order to change the serpentine belt. On many vehicles this is accomplished by placing a socket and ratchet (usually 1/2 inch will be required) on the bolt on the end of the pulley. By using the ratchet you take the tension off enabling you to remove the belt. To place the new belt on just repeat the process enabling you to slip the new belt in to place on the pulley. For proper belt arrangement most vehicles have a diagram under the hood in the engine compartment.
