Loosen to bolts holding the alternator in place and then adjust the tension. Tighten the bolts when the tension is right.

Near the top of the serpentine belt path is a belt tensioner; it is spring loaded and has a shinney pulley on it. Insert a wrench into this tensioner and pull against it and the tension will be released so you can replace your belt. I am assuming your question is about the serpentine belt.
