What do the tools you've recommended do?
My understanding is that I need to disconnect the battery. Then with a 17 mm socket or breaker bar retract the belt tensioner, hold it out of the way with a hex key as a pin. Pull the belt off the alternator, remove the bolts, pull it out, remove the cable, then do it in reverse.
