All instructions are assuming you are working from the front of the vehicle.
If you do not still have the sticker showing you the belt routing attached to the vehicle take note of the route it takes before beginning. The Pulley is on your left, with a small square hole. Insert your 3/8 in ratchet into this hole, and pull the left (counter clockwise). You should then be able to remove the belt. The pivot point of when you released the tension is the bolt that will remove the tension pulley. Simply remove it, and replace the tension pulley assembly. (The part cost me about $15 at Advance Auto in Florida- I had to call ahead and I had my wife pick it up.)

You are talking about the tension on your fan belt? If the belt is still on, use your ratchet to insert into the square hole on the tension arm. Use the ratchet as a lever to move the tension are so you can slip the belt off. Then just unscrew the arm, get the new on, screw it in, and replace the belt and you are good to go.

Remove the 4 nuts that are against the pulley behind the fan with the belt still on the truck. Once these nuts are removed, the fan will separate from the pulley. Now you can remove the belt & water pump pulley.

Typically it's the highest pulley, right behind the fan shroud. The tensioner pulley is spring loaded to assure proper belt tension and most tensioners provide a way to easily remove the tension to the belt so that you can replace the belt or belt driven accessories.

How do you tighten a serpentine belt for a 1998 Ford Contour?
Buy a Chevy!!!! That was a big help. Most but not all serpentine belt systems have a spring loaded tension pulley that just holds constant tension on the belt. If there is a tension pulley, it will be the one pulley that is not attached to anything like the alternator or AC. After that, the alternator is the most likely to be the one that adjusts.
