There is a 'tension' pulley that keeps the belt tight. You do not need to unbolt anything.. just use a 3/8" socket wrench and insert into the square hole on the belt tensioner and swing away from the belt...this will have tension on it and you must be careful to not allow this to swing out of your hand.

Remove the existing belt while tension is off the belt and then install the new belt... allow the tension to go back against the new belt.

This proceedure is easier if you have help holding the tension off the belt.

Keep your old belt somewhere in your vehicle for a spare in the event you ever break the new belt.

hope this helps
