Ford Bronco Idler pulley Problem

Need to replace the serpentine belt on my 1989 Ford Bronco, which tension bolt do I loosen to take the belt off and replace? Do I need to take the fan off in order to do it? I have viewed the diagram but not sure which bolt to loosen. Thanks

The idler pulley bolt. Use rachet with proper socket. That's what my info says.
