Remove cooling fan. Use the special tool if you have access to one(I use a punch to knock it lose).
Cooling fan is 32mm and has left hand threads(knock clockwise)

To remove A/C compressor belt.
Use Torx socket to rotate tensioner clockwise and slip off old belt.
Inspect this belt also for cracks.

To remove alternator/accessory belt.
Remove the cap on the tensioner with a thin screwdriver.
Rotate the tensioner clockwise to release belt.
