I searched both sites and found my answer over there. Now it will be here for future generations.
How do you relieve the tension on the Serpentine Belt for removal?
Use the square 3/8" socket drive and insert into the square hole on the pulley. Then use a long cheater bar for leverage and turn clockwise. With this obviously being your first time, check out the routing on the fan shield. Use the Alternator as your last item to complete; it's a small diameter and will be much easier to finish the job (possibly the only way).
Replacing the Pulley and Bearing: you'll need a 15MM socket for both. Very handy to have a ratcheting combo wrench as the threads are very long.
Very quick and easy once you're prepared.
Have a nice day!
