The belt has tension applied to it from an idler pulley arm. you need to release tension by using a socket and ratchet on the nut on the idler pulley. Release tesion and slide belt off . Make sure you have the diagram for serpentine belt. it is usualy under the hood. If not make a diagram yorself before removing belt.
With a wrench you need to raise the tensioner that tightens the belt to the point that you can get it off the alternator.Once the belt is off the pulleys then you need to get it over the rad fan blade by feed it over them one at a time until it is off.There is a belt routeing guide under the hood to help you route the new one.Sounds easy but the tensioner can require a couple of wrenches hooked together because the have a lot of tension.
The diagram should be in the engine bay somewhere. usually on the front crossmemeber or possibly hood. If that doesnt work, contact one of your local autoparts stores. They should have a database that they can print a diagram from.
