Accessory Belt

Has anyone changed out the accessory belt for the A/C, alternator and water pump? I tried to get to it from the bottom with a small panel behind the right front wheel removed. The problem is that it very tight and I can't see how to loosen the tensioner pulley.

Also, I didn't realize before that the power steering is a separate belt. I probably should change both at the same time since this belt is inside the accessory belt.

Any advice or a page from the shop manual would be a really big help!

Thanks...
