How do you release the belt tensioner in order to get the belt off? Any tricks to removing the water pump? Special tools?

It is a 2002 Saturn SC2. I think it is a 2.2 liter 4 cyl.
I found the belt tensioner, but it would not release. It appears to have a lockdown bolt on top of the pivoting arm, but I couldn't reach it with any of my tools in order to loosen it.
