I know there are only 2 screws, but how do I remove the belt from the alternator?

There is an automatic belt tensionier that holds tension on the belt. It rides on a pivot. WHen you turn it, the belt will loosten. When you release it, the belt will tighten.

Let me know if you have other questions.
