the tensioner is spring loaded, you probably loosened the idler pulley, there is a pulley located just to the right of the alternator, that is the tensioner, use a 14mm or 9/16 open end wrench to release tension on the belt. I've replaced several of these, and not to sound like a jerk, but if you couldn't even figure out how to loosen the belt tensioner you probably shouldn't be working on your own car.
