Do you need to remove it or just release the pressure on the belt? To do the latter, just insert a 3/8 inch drive ratchet into the square hole above the pully and push toward the rear of the car. Not sure how to remove it, but this is the first step.

usually you don't. Use a socket wrench with an extra long handle or "breaker bar". Turn in the direction indicated on the tensioner, and the tensioner will move enough for you to remove the belt. Once the belt is off, you can remove the tensioner if you have to.
