There's a bad rattling sound coming from the tensioner so I just need some advice about how to get the belt off and remove the tensioner. Thank you

The belt is relatively easy to remove. The tensioner plays a part in the process, as you look at the belt, you will see the tensioner has a slot for a 1/2" ratchet which you insert your ratchet and apply pressure to see which way it moves more freely. You will notice the belt becoming loose also. As the tensioner is moved simply slip the belt away from the pulleys and then you can release the tensioner. Your view of the 2 or 3 bolts connecting it to the engine will be better. Don't try to pry the tensioner away from the engine before the bolts are completely out as this may strip the threads. In case the tensioner does not have a 1/2" ratchet slot, a simple pry bar will also release the pressure so as to remove the belt. I hope this helps!
