Locate the tensioner (2nd pully down when looking straight down from front of car - the shiny one) pull out your 14mm break loose 14mm nut on pully, DO NOT REMOVE - JUST BREAK LOOSE (You may need to jack up the car on passenger side and get under to reach) then loosen the 14mm bolt that runs perpendicular to pully which intersects where you broke loose the 14mm nut. once it is loosened up the tensioner should slide creating slack in the belt. you should now be able to remove the belt. Be sure to pay attention, and/or draw diagram before removing the belt. Make sure you put belt on the exact same way it came off. Now, reverse the steps, making sure the bolt tightens back in the same location (did not slide towards drivers side. If it did, then you loosened the nut too much) When you are done setting the tension, make sure to tighten back up the nut you broke loose on the pully.
