10mm hex socket in the tensioner rotate it clockwise until you can put a skinny bolt through the two "eyes" that line up change the belt and then rotate it slightly clockwise and pull the bolt out and let the tensioner rotate back. I think you may be able to pull on the belt hard to rotate the tensioner but I would use the socket and the socket wrench.

The front plastic engine cover of coarse. Four allen screws, two under the top engine cover and two
on the front. I don't have a B4 but I know for sure that cover has to come off in the least.

i was going to say, " is this a serious question???" on your behalf...
but since i guess you are only a B3 and C4 person i guess it is... yea its VERY easy to do take off the cowl on the front with the two allen heads and then pull it up and use i think a 17mm on the tensioner to relieve it and the belt comes right off. there is a special "bold head" on the tensioner to put the 17mm on too
