Use a large wrench to take tension off of your serpentine belt and remove the belt from the alternator, (just the alternator). Disconnect the wires. Remove the bolts then the alternator.

It actually isn't that hard. Remove the front right wheel and fender liner. Use a 9/16" wrench to loosen the serpentine belt by turning the wrench clockwise. Slip the belt off the alternator.

Don't know what year you have but try this:The tensioner is located above the alternator.

If you don't have the Allen wrench, use any 15mm wrench instead at the tensioner pulley nut to achieve the same.

First, get a new serpentine belt. There is a de-tensioning wrench that you can borrow from Kragen Auto Parts, or Pep Boys. This wrench is at least 3 feet long, and you attach it to your alternator's back end, which has a bar-metal spring tensioner. The wrench bends back this tensioner spring, which allows you to remove the old belt, and put in the new belt.

Yes you need a wrench to loosen the tensioner and then release the belt slowly from the bolt in the top of alternator after that you would need a long and strong screwdriver (crowbar) to release it from the pulley it self. Do not forget to draw the diagram of how the belt serpentine around the pulley.
