On the 3.3L V6 motor the belt tensioner bolt needs to be loosened by turning it counter clockwise, you don't need to take it all the way out just loosen it up a bit. You will need two people to get the belt on. One person can get under the car and using a large 19mm box wrench push up on the front of the tensioner. You will notice that the belt goes slack when you do this. I have found it best to put the belt on everything except for the alternator. Then by putting slack on the belt have your helper move the belt onto the alternator. Just watch your fingers cause once you get that belt on it is tight.

With the 15mm socket on the tensioner pulley's bolt, rotate it clockwise and this will release the tension on the belt, or in the case of installing a new serpentine belt, allow you to get it where it belongs.
