Undo hose, undo line, remove belt, unscrew the bolts through holes in pulley by turning pulley until access is gained.
What is wrong with yours?

It's leaking at the seal behind the pulley. How do you release the tension to remove serpentine belt?

Make yourself a sketch of the belt routing! There is not one under the hood!
The tensioners have either a 1/2", 3/4", or a large torx drive as the tool you use to turn it to get tension released.
Other tools can be used to grasp the tensioner such as large channel lock pliers or a large adjustable wrench.

Thanks. I'll take pixs before I remove the belt.

On the tensioners that have the "torx" like opening I found you can use a 1/2 inch breaker bar with two pennies taped to it. They should be next to each other but not on top of each other. It fits in the hole and saves you from buying a special tool or getting your hand caught when your improvised method slips off !!
