Just put a spanner (15mm IIRC) on the nut in the centre of the tensioner pulley and turn it to relieve the tension on the belt and slip it off. To replace, feed round all pullies except the water pump, relieve tension and slip onto water pump pulley.

Also, if its the first time youve done this then make a sketch of the belt route....it saves head scratching later ;)

Is this as you look at it? Because on my car the alternator is below the tensioner. The tensioner seems to be at the top left as you look at it on my car? :-/
