I know some people on this forum get succes to install the belt, without touching the tensioner and this is possible if you use gloves otherwise, go under the passenger side ( I did it without removing the wheel but easier if removed) you will reach the tensioner bolt ( use 13 mm), I'm not sure if it is clockwise or counterclockwise, so remove the tension and ask a helper to pass the belt over the alternator. Just make sure that the serpentine is engage correctly in each pulley of the system before starting the engine, to avoid damage to your new belt.
