There is a tensioner pulley attached to an arm.
Release the tension on the belt by undoing the pulley arm bolt, the belt will have enough slack to slide off the pulleys.
To put it back on, you find the diagram on the radiator guard or under the hood.

    The routing of the serpentine belt on your car is quite simple, if you do not have the diagram just note position of the belt on the pullings by making a drawing on a piece of paper.

    Another choice is getting the repair manual for your car, if you wnt to DIY, sooner or later you are gonna need it.
