Belt tensioner should be under the alternator.

Find the belt tensioner, that is the pully that does not bolt directly to the block but to a arm and then to the block.
Put a socket or wrench on the nut in the middle of that pully and then move it to loosen the tension on the belt.
It will move VERY hard and becareful because if it snaps down on your hand and you pinch your fingers between the pully and something else...you will need to change your screen name to 8 finger Charlie.

Put a wrench on the bolt and push towards the water pump to release the belt tension.
Are you sure you know how to reinstall it, might want to draw a picture of the belt routing so you don't mess it up.

DO NOT loosen the bolt that holds the pully on, like Mike said push DOWN on the pully.
