you need to take loose the 2 bolts behind the power steering pump,and the one on the guide. then there is the one that threads alot that puts tension on the belt. then push down on the power steering pulley and the belt will be loose.

Hey guys I am installing my 4.5" add-a-leaf Rough Country kit tomorrow on my 1993 Cherokee Country with a buddy of mine and would really appreciate any tips, advice or words of wisdom... I would like to hear about any small problems anyone ran into that I could prepare for before my Jeep is on jacks!
Thanks a bunch and try to write as much as you can think of.

I cant seem to find out how to delete it

I had the same problem with my serpentine belt replacement until I found out about those screws behind the power steering... good luck
