How release tension on serpentine belt 1998 olds 88?

I need to change the serpentine belt on olds 88, with 8500 series engine, 1998
How release tension on serpentine belt 1998 olds 88?
the belt tensioner is bolted to the engine and there should be a square hole in it at the top to use a 3/8%26quot; drive ratchet into the square hole to pry it over so it loosens the tension on the belt, you might have to get a 2 or 3' piece of pipe that will go over the ratchet handle for extra leverage.

there should be a belt tensioner mounted in line with the other pullys on the engine. it might only be about 3 inches in diameter and probably black. your best bet would be to call your local auto parts store and ask them. all it should take is to put a ratchet on the end bolt with the right sized socket and turn it the opposite way that it is putting tension on the belt.
