10 mm tensioer nut at the top of the assembly.Then loosen the 17mm nut on the idler pulley.
The tension of the belt should loosen the pulley up.

Yea, I snapped the head off the 10mm AC bolt, but the 17mm was tight enough it didn't move and I don't use/have AC anyways so I don't worry, I eventually did replace that long f***er. Took forever with pliers.
