Do you mean AUX belt tensioner dose it not rotate or its not tensioning up there is a shorter aux belt mod for this you reroute it and remove one of the tensioners this might be a better option.

If the tensioner is seized up the only thing you can do is to trip the belt off and remove the tensioner if its to tight to trip off id cut the belt off and replace with the shorter mod belt.
 
What car you got if diesel and its the aux belt just do as alt as suggested explain to your garage about shorter belt there is a guide in the diy

Is it AUX belts are different size?.I found there,that need remove one puley near alternator.if I buy belt,latter I can't put.Is it right?What belt is better?
 
Is it no problem if car runing on shorter belt?
 
The shorter belt does away with the idler puller and alleviates strain on the alternator. The tensioner requires alot of force to move it, use something to give leverage like a piece of pipe over the spanner.

I'm not sure but think honda only sell the shorter belts now.

A mechanic will change it no problem, I would say its advisable to change as a preventative measure if convenient.
