Looking into the engine compartment from the passenger side you you will see two large bolts and a smaller bolt on the alternator. The large upper bolt is the pivot bolt, the lower bolt is the locking bolt. The third bolt is used to adjust belt tension.
1. Loosen the alternator locking bolt. You may need a breaker bar to free the bolt.
2. Loosen the pivot bolt.
3. Turn the tension bolt counter clockwise to loosen tension, clockwise to increase tension.
4. Tighten the pivot bolt and locking bolt.
