You merely put your long wrench on the bolt on the tensioner pulley that is riding against the belt, and push down (away from the belt), and while holding the tensioner down and away from the belt, you take your other hand and remove the belt from something on top, such as the alternator, when you have done this you can release your pushing on the pulley and remove the belt from the rest of the pulleys.
