Disconnect the battery.Remover the serpentine belt.Unbolt the belt tensioner from the bracket.
There should be a tensioning pulley that can be fitted with a socket and wrench. You can then pull the pulley thus loosening the tension on the belt and then pull the belt off. Install the same way.

How do I change headlamp on 2006 Lincoln Town Car
On a 2001 Lincoln Town Car : The 4.6 liter V8 engine has ( 2 ) timing CHAINS ( one timing CHAIN to each cylinder head )
You need a 1/2" breaker bar or ratchet handle, place in the appropriate slot in the belt tensioner, and pull or push to release the tension. The diagram is under the hood for proper replacement.

I will conentrate on the second inner belt since the first outer belt is fairly obvious. To change the second belt, look behind the idler pully and loosen the 9/16 bolt mounted in a curved slot (this is the adjustment point). To loosen the pivot point and release tension from the belt, feel directly below the AC pump for the thread end of a bolt with a nut on it. You can see it at an angle, but I found it easier to just work by feel. Loosen this nut using a 5/8 deep well socket and the tension will be released. Reinstall tightening the adjustment bolt first. Note the outer belt will have to be removed to remove/install the inner belt.
