There are 3 different 6 cylinder engines available for that car so you need to be more specific.
3.0, 3.8, or 4.3. Don't guess.

The pulley in the upper left of this picture is a spring loaded tensioner. Rotate it clockwise to release belt.

In that case there is something wrong with the information you are giving me because that is the setup for the engine that you told me you had.
