I have replaced the alternator belt and now I have had to replace the alternator. The belt is routed properly but I am having a problem tightening the belt up properly. Is there a tensioner belt on the bottom side of alternator? Is there something that I am missing that you can tell me? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Properly tension the alternator drive belt by loosening the bolts (left and right arrows), then turning the adjuster bolt (center arrow)
