Check out autozone.com which has online repair manuals. The manual (which is almost a copy of chilton's manual) says to rotate the tensioner and pull off the belt before removing the alternator.

How do you replace the alternator belt on a 1997 Dodge Avenger 4 cylinder?
PROBABLY ISNT MUCH DIFFERENT THEN A 1995. GET YOURSELF A LONG 15MM RENCH AND LOSEN THE TOP BOLT OF THE ALTERNATOR YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT BEHIND THE TIMEING BELT COVER. NOW JACK UP THE CAR , REMOVE THE TIRE AND CRAWL UNDERNEATH. LOSEN UP THE BOLT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ALTERNATOR. HERE COMES THE FUN PART. ON THE BACK PART OF THE TOP ALTERNATOR BRACKET IS A TENSIONING BOLT, AND IF DODGE HASNT CHANGED THE SIZE ITS A 13MM. YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR ARM BACK HEHIND THERE AND WITH A 13MM ON A RATCHET WRENCH LOSEN THE TENSIONER UNTIL YOU CAN PUSH THE ALTERNATOR FORWARD ENOUGH TO GET THE BELT OFF OF THE CRANK SHAFT PULLY. REPLACE THE SAME WAY YOU TOOK IT OFF.

How do you replace the alternator on a 1994 Mazda MPV?
On my 93 Mazda MPV I removed the shroud above the fan, loosened the tensioner on the right side (as you look at the engine) and that losens the outside belt. Then, go to the other side and losen the tensioner top and bottom for the alternator and second belt. Losen the bolt under the alternator and it will hit the pulley before you get it out - so you'll have to remove the pulley. Used a screwdriver to go through the small holes in the pulley and jam the pulley so I could losen with 5/8 socket. This may take a cheater. It is a regular thread (no reverse thread here) We did remove the bottom shroud but may not have been necessary as the pulley bolt was visibile and accessible from above. Once the pulley is off, remove the long bolt underneath the alternator and lift the alternator and tilt for access to the back - remove the 2 electrical wires sets and it should lift right out of there.
How do you replace an alternator on a 1999 Lincoln Navigator?
first thing you will need to do is loosen the belt enough, get a large socket wrench and you will see a pully pretty deep down by the fan so it has to have a pretty long handle as well, once you spot it put the socket wrench in the pully's cut out socket and pull it towards your left and where the hose for your radiator is you will see a bracket put the wrench's handle on the bracket so it stays there, and your belt should losen, now just losen the bolts on the alternator i believe there are two and losen the bolt behind it to remove the cable. remove all other cables, and once the new one is in position. then put your belt back on and begin to move the wrench back and when the pully is back in its noromal position take the wrench out and your done :D i had to do this about 3 times becasue i had to change my alternator due to my system
