Hi:

To remove the tension from the belt tensioner, you will need a ratchet or a box end. The tensioner will have a slot for a ratchet or you will place the box end over the tensioner pulley bolt. Then just push or pull the tensioner in the direction to loosten the belt.

The fan screws are a standard right handed thread.
