To remove the s/c belt you need a 1/2" inch drive to pull down on the belt tensioner. There should be a square hole on the tensioner and thats where u put the 1/2" drive inside, once in there pull down untill there is enough clearance to remove the belt. bam there u go, repeat the process for installation of the new belt.

thanks for the help, now it looks like my vortech idler pulley its damage. Can i just replace the pulley or do I need to buy the bracket? plus does anyone know what kind of belt should I buy (brand & size). thanks

You can find a new idler pulley on ebay or from vortech an just replace it, u dont need a whole new bracket. And if ur belt is a 6 rib then this is the one u want http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product_variation.php?pvk=440
