It should be on the left-hand side where the belt and pulleys are - there's no grooves in it, it's flat and runs off the back side of the belt. It's spring loaded. Try a breaker bar and appropriate sized socket to help take off tension - the belt should slide right off. Pay attention how it comes off and make sure you get the new belt back on the same way.
