There is a square hole it the tensioner in which to insert a 1/2 inch breaking bar or socket wrench end to pull on and release the tension. - update - Are you turning the tensioner bolt clockwise? You have to turn it clockwise for it to relieve tension. You turn counter clockwise to remove the tensioner bolt. Turning counter clockwise will not relieve tension.
Remove existing belt by applying pressure to the tensioner (pully) while sliding the belt off of another pully (AC compressor at top is easily accessible). The belt should be loose enough that hand pressure will suffice to remove the existing belt.After belt is removed, replace with new belt using the belt diagram displayed on top of the fan. You will need to apply pressure to the tensioner in order to allow the belt to fit over top of the AC compressor. Once belt is in place, remove pressure from tensioner. I was able to perform a belt replacement on my 02 liberty by hand (no tools to apply pressure to tensioner).

Competition is the biggest force that is applying pressure to the building industry. Other factors applying pressure includes ownership change, technology, and customer pressure.
When applying acute pressure with deep strokes, a hypertonic muscle will release.
Both the accessory belt and supercharger belt are serpentine. The supercharger belt comes off first. The tensioner is under the coils and easy access. Use a 15mm socket and ratchet to release tension on the belt and remove the belt from one of the pulleys. Slowly and carefully release the pressure on the tensioner. I had to remove the radiator reservoir to get access to the accessory tensioner way in the back. Just remove two nuts and lift up. Plug the overflow hole. Using the same socket, relieve pressure on the belt and remove the belt from the alternator or take your pick of pulleys. Carefully thread the new accessory belt on all but the alternator. Use a flash light to verify that the belt is properly aligned on all pulleys. Use the rachet to move the tensioner back to the limit and carefully thread the new belt over the last pulley (alternator?). Let the tension off and use the flash light again to verify alignment. Do not get your finger between the belt and pulley! The tensioner being accidently release at such a time will cause damage to the flesh. Repeat with the supercharger belt.
use a pry bar between the ideler arm and pully. The tensioner is sprig activated. This will take a little pressure, but it should loosen with eaze. after releaseing tensioner, it will tighten back up b/c of the spring.
by applying pressure
it is a spring loaded pulley that keeps a constant pressure on the belt
No! Applying pressure to your nose only makes it swell up even bigger and turn bright red
by applying pressure
If the tensioner is sticking and not keeping pressure, then there could be a broken spring or a piece rubbing. The tensioner will likely need to be replaced. If it will not move enough to remove the belt then the belt will need to be cut off.
There is a spring loaded tensioner that holds the tension on the belt. Get a wrench that fits the nut on the tensioner and apply alot of clockwise pressure that will losen the tensioner and allow the belt to go on and off.
