usually these are self tightening held with tension with a automatic tensioner if your car dosent have an auto tensioner then look for an adjustment screw turn it clockwise until the desired tension is accuired. there may be a locking screw behind the adjuster if so loosen that and then make your adjustments.

You'll need to locate the tensioner pulley and rotate it toward the center of the engine with either a 3/8 or 1/2 inch ratchet or breaker bar. This will allow you to pull the old belt off and install the new one. There should be a sticker near the radiator that shows the belt routing, if not there will also be a diagram in the owner's manual. This is a fairly easy job so good luck.
