    Follow the belt, it will be the one that is NOT power steering, alternator, Water pump or harmonic balancer. Their should be a 1/2" square hole to apply tension once bracket is loosened.
    Flashlight may help.

    It looks like, based on Stratmando's link, you'll need to use a socket and breaker bar on the idler pulley bolt. A regular ratchet wrench may not provide the leverage you will need.
