Assuming it's a typical FWD V6, you need to first remove the serpentine rubber belt that drives the water pump, pwr steering, alternator, AC, etc.Tension on this belt is achieved by the spring loaded idler roller ( the part you want to replace).CAREFULLY insert a pry bar or heavy long screw driver behind the idler puller and press down hard ( need some muscle for this). ..this will relieve the tesion on the belt which will enable you to slide it off whichever pully is easiest. Once the belt is off, let the spring loaded pully relax and then remove the bolts holding the tensioner assmbly to the motor. good luck
