Find the tensioner, rotate it clockwise. I don't remember offhand what type of tool the tensioner requires for this vehicle... it'll either be a 3/8" drive ratchet inserted directly into the tensioner, or a socket (15mm is typical of GM).

Near the top of the serpentine belt path is a belt tensioner; it is spring loaded and has a shinney pulley on it. Insert a wrench into this tensioner and pull against it and the tension will be released so you can replace your belt. I am assuming your question is about the serpentine belt.
