belt tensioner problem

I'm trying to replace my '01's alternator. I can't release the tension on the belts. I push down on the idler pulley and nothing happens other than the 24mm bolt head turning.
I turned the bolt quite a few turns; will the bolt finally shear or will turning it too much cause the pulley to bind? A youtube video made it look ridiculously easy but...
TIA!
