its easy the tensioner is on the left side middle facing the vehicle, If i remember correct it is a 5/8ths and all that you need is a regular ratchet. If you look at the digram on the vehicle it displays the belt route. The whole process is really easy! it auto ajusts the tension if you need and new assembly they sell it at autozone.

The above answer is correct, except that usually there is a 3/8 square hole on the tensioner and it can be released with any 3/8 drive ratchet.
