Serpentine belt replacement

What is the best way to take the tension of the tensioner on my 04 explorer to replace the serpentine belt?

Make sure you swing it the right way. There should be a sticker under the hood with a diagram on it.

I've just bought a 18 in long 3/8 square breaker bar for just this purpose. It fits in the 3/8 square hole in the tensioner arm just above the tensioner pulley. Made for the job!
