I tried to loosen the tensioner in my 1999 ford taurus to change the belt, but if i go counter clock wise the bolt just comes out and if i go clockwise the bolt just gets tighter and does not release anything, can i get some help please?

Which engine? 3.0L V6? It should be as simple as putting a socket and breaker bar on the tensioner and turning clockwise. To relieve the tension you turn the bolt in the direction opposite of removal.
