First is you have to releive the tension and take off the belt. What ever side the tension is on from the belt that's the way it will need to go to give the belt slack to be removed. When you go to release the Tensionor back it will go further then it was before so what ever your using to unspring it (long wrench, Ratchet and socket, or tensionor tool) may get wedged.
If you are replacing the whole tensionor then you need to remove the bolt through the center of the tensionor pulley. On the back side of the tensionor is a little tip (about the size of a new eraser on the end of a pencil) that sets in a spot on the surface it bolts too. You'll need to put the new tensionor back in that spot. Thighten the bolt down snug.
If you just need the pulley itself off the tensionor then just take the bolt out that is through it. Put new one on and tighten up snug. Make sure it spins fairly free when your down. If you overtighten (create excessive drag) it it will wear out the new pulley fast and possiblly lock up when the bearing inside fails and cause your belt to break cause it doesn't spin anymore.
