You do not actually loosen the pulley, it pivots out of the way and the pivot point is where the bracket mounts to the engine (don't let go once you release the tension, the bracket is spring loaded.) Basically put a wrench on the pulley bolt like in the picture above, have the wrench orientated just like in the picture and push down towards the bottom of the car. It should be obvious once you start to apply pressure. It does not require much force but be careful because again it is spring loaded so it could snap back and fling the wrench in your face.
EDIT: Pictures have been fixed thanks to Matt from GrimmSpeed. Info above is correct!
