The procedure is as follows:--
Unbolt the passenger side cover panel from the bottom of the car using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Locate the tensioner on the center of the engine. Mount a socket onto the breaker bar and turn the tensioner to relieve tension on the belt. Pull the belt off the alternator pulley.

The alternator is held in place by two bolts.
Top and bottom bolts - 12 mill bolts.
By loosening the bolts (especially the top bolt) you will find that the alternator can be manipulated forward and backwards along its housing (guides). Once the belt has loosened you can slip it off and replace the belt as required.
To tighten the alternator belts all you need to do is push the alternator away from the front of the engine and tighten the belt as required.
Once the belt is taut tighten the 2 bolts and you are away.

Now you can turn the long adjuster bolt on the front of the motor to tighten or loosen the front belt.
