The serpentine belt is held by tention with a automatic belt tensioner. If the serpentine belt is loose, you will most likely have to replace the entire belt tensioner assembly. the assembly comes with a new pully. Please visit my bio for a link to my Saturn help site for pictures of the assembly.
you will need a belt tensioner set, it has a belt tensioner tool and a bolt/nut that needs to be placed in the correct spot, bolt ususally goes on the belt tensioner pulley. after u have placed the bolt on the belt tensioner pully. use the belt tensioner tool to create slack on the belt by pulling it to the right. then u should just be able to take belt off. might need 2 people
