Hello,
To release the tension of the tensioner you will have to rotate it clockwise.
Careful not to allow the tensioner to snap back in place.
Here are a couple of helpful articles:

I have attached diagrams of the replacement procedure below.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
