Use a 5/8 deep socket. The pulley should fall down when loosened enough.
If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley. Pry the idler back and remove the belt.If you are referring to the Serpentine belt, you loosen no pulley. You simply remove tension from the belt. The tension is applied by the Idler Pulley.

Are you talking about the "idler pulley"? They are quite simple to change. Loosen the serpentine belt by using a socket on the center of the tensioner pulley, slide the belt off the idler pulley, use a socket to pull the center bolt of the idler pulley and replace the pulley with a new one.
Replace the tensioner assembly as one piece.
I don't believe there is an idler pulley on that model, just a tensioner pulley
NO it is not.
The idler pulley is attached by a 14mm hex head bolt. Although the pulley turns counter-clockwise, suggesting that the bolt might be left-handed threads, it is in fact right-handed. A 1/2" drive ratchet with a 14mm socket will loosen the bolt if turned in a counter-clockwise direction. Be sure and loosen the belt tensioner, located below the alternator, and loosen but not remove the other alternator bolts, prior to removing the idler pulley.
Typically, there is one pulley that is mounted on a spring arm to maintain proper belt tension. Just turn the bolt on the idler pulley and the tensioner will release.
idler pulley, the only one that will move
no those cars suck
from the bottom 13mm loosen idler pulley bolt then turn adjuster bolt under pulley
NO
Adjustment is on the idler pulley with the tensioner bolt sitting right below the alternator. I also had to loosen the center bolt on the idler pulley before it would move.
