Default how to replace factory belts?

I must be the dumbest searcher alive, but I can find no info. Ive got the belts just need directions on installing them. I didnt see any kind of belt tentioner so i didnt want to just guess and start taking off parts. Any help would be great. Thanks!

In the diagram below, the idlers are labeled I/P.
Loosen nuts A and C as they lock the idler pulleys so they don't slip and change the tension. Then loosen the bolts B and D to release the tension from the belts. It's a good idea to count the number of turns you loosen B and D so you know how many to re-tighten later. Make the belts too tight and you can wear out the bearings in the idlers and other components.

know it's a bit late of response, but can you elaborate on how you tightened the belts back? (did you count, as the previous poster suggested?)

interested in doing this myself, so very curious (so that I can don't mess anything up!)

I kinda counted, but I mainly just got it back as tight as it was before I removed it. Its super easy so dont be scared.
