AnswerI have a 98 escort so I believe that they are probably similar. The top pulley where the serpentine belt is has a little square in it so that you can stick a ratchet in and turn and the tension is released. Quite simply once you find the little square.

Then pull the breaker bar, or what you have inserted into the pulley, TOWARDS you to loosen the tension and then remove the serpentine belt. There should be a diagram up inside the hood to show you the way you're supposed to put a new one back on.

How do you replace the alternator belt on a 1997 Ford Escort?

I found the instructions in a Chiltons #26242 book on Ford Escort/Tracer. I found it easier to remove the alternator as there is a idler pulley hidden beneath it that is a real bugger to get the belt around. Once I solved this problem everything else was easy. The tension pulley that Ford installed really helped as you don't have to adjust the belt.
