Have to loosen the two bolts for the arm. Don't remove them. Untension the belt by prying the arm back. Think there are one or two holes in the arm you can stick pins in and get a lever (very large screwdriver) across to pry the arm against the sping tension. Tighten the set bolt (not the piviot bolt) and remove the timing belt tension pulley and then the timing belt. Release the tension on the arm by loosening the set bolt (do not remove it). There should be three bolts, one top and two on the bottom to remove the whole assembly. May have to remove the smooth idler to get to the bottom two bolts.

Don't take the tension arm off as it's a PITA to get back on.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?
