Hi in front of the engine on the tensioner you will find a square hole that a 3/8 ratchet fits in this is your release you have to push tensioner hold while you remove belt

"push tensioner hold?" I don't know what you mean there. And which way do I turn it?

Ok so I see the tensioner there on my car. It has a bolt on the pully itself, not a square hole. Do I turn that bolt?
