Changing Serpentine Belt

I bought a new Serpentine Belt for my camaro, and was wondering how exactly does this come off. I know I have to loosen up the tensioner?, but I dont want to screw with the wrong stuff and then have a huge problem. Thanks

stick a half inch ratchet into the tensioner, turn it clockwise so it goes down, remove belt, add new belt, lowly release tensioner.
