Loosen the nut on the front of the pulley,
Loosen the tensioner bolt (the one on top of the bracket),
if it doesn't start to slack, tap on the tensioner bolt with a mallet (not a hammer),
remove belt.
Installation is the reverse of removal.

The bolts are important, but the NUT holding those idler pulleys on are also important. Loosen that nut, then you should be able to move the idler up and down with those bolts.
