On my 04 It just comes off all as one piece. It should be the same on yours I would think.

It is all one unit...just use a ratchet to push it clockwise while facing the front of the car (there is a square notch in the arm to use as leverage) and the belt will get loose. Once the belt is off just use a 10 mm socket (if I recall correctly) to loosen the bolt. Pull off and ready for new tensioner.
