Hi Moms626,

Straight forward job.

Alternator has and adjustiing bolt, release it, do not take it out. Push alternator towards engine to enable belt to have clearance to slip in.

Use a bar to pry alternator outwards to tighten the tension, pull bar hard and release, then hold bar slightly to maintain tension and retighten adjusting bolt. You are done.

NOTE : If power steering and AC belts are in the way, you need to take them out first, same procedure.
