You would typically use a serpentine belt tool or a breaker bar with the appropriate socket to loosen the tension pulley on a 2002 Cavalier. These tools help you apply enough force to release tension on the pulley so you can easily remove or install the serpentine belt.
usally' u put a 15mm or 5/8" wrench on the nut in the middle of the pulley & move the SPRING loaded Pully.IF U aren't sure wich Pulley-WATCH witch pulley Vibrates when the engine is idleing-then turn OFF the engine & replace the Belt.
Put you car on jack stands, remove the right wheel. Loosen the tension pulley for the accessory belt (AC, alternator). Remove the belt. Loosen the tension pulley for the power steering, remove the belt. Install a new belt, and set proper tension. If you do not have a tool to measure tension, use rule of thumb. When the belt is under proper tension you should be able to twist only 3/4 of full twist. Do the same for the accessory belt.
You could do what I did, wait for the tension pulley to fall off the van...
Regardless of what type of vehicle you have, it is extremely difficult to replace a serpentine belt w/o a serpentine un-tension-er tool. This is a thin, long handle with a socket on the end that sticks out at 90 degrees of the handle. The socket slips onto the bolt-head of the tension-er pulley. Once the serpentine belt is threaded around all the other pulleys you put the un-tension-er tool on the tension-er pulley bolt and pull (or push) to achieve slack in the serpentine belt and slip it on the tension-er pulley.
You don't. The serpentine belt tension is automatically maintained by the tensioner pulley, which is an idler pulley located on the passenger side of the system and looks like it doesn't drive anything. If the belt tension is incorrect, the tensioner pulley must be replaced. If the question meant 'how to release tension from the belt' (for removal, etc.), this is done by applying the correct size socket wrench to the tensioner pulley's center nut and rocking the pulley away from the belt.
