if you don't have a service manual, check www.autolibrary.org
it gives details with drawings of your belt change proceedure....
what it amounts to is taking a breaker bar with a socket that will fit the hex on the front of the spring loaded tensioner pulley, pushing against the spring to relieve the tension and allow the old belt to come off.....
replace new belt in reverse fashion, there's a diagram of the belt routing on top of your radiator or fan shroud if you get confused...
happy wrenching

The engine size of the unit helps for one..
