What did you guys use to release the tension off the belt? I know you have to pull down that one pully but there looks like a 3/8 drive square hole you to do that but theres not enough room to get any 3/8 rachet or anything in there to do it? Thanks I checked the How-To but it doesn't really say anything about how to release the tention? Whats the easiest way to release the tention because I am also changing the belt? thanks,

Yes the ratchet is to bulky. Use a 3/8 breakerbar. It fits with about an 1/4" to spare.

No big deal since you are installing the DMD anyway-
With the right side of the car up on a jackstand, remove the wheel, remove the plastic splash shield.
Look up and left and you'll see, and have clear access to, the tensioner. Easy task to use a 3/8 breaker bar to release tension and remove the belt.
