Just go to autozone.com to find the part number, and changing it is fairly simple. Just get a long socket wrench and put a socket on that bolt on the tensioner pulley. push/pull whichever way that will loosen it and slip it off. it works best with 2 people so that one can push/pull the tensioner pulley while the other feeds it through the pulleys. There is a diagram on the driver side of the engine bay of how the belt should go.

Don't know about the part numbers, but I'd consider changing the small belt for the AC at the same time. The diagram on the drivers side shows where the tensioners are and arrows show which direction.
