alternator drive belt?
You have to remove the passenger side wheel, and inner fenders, then the drive axle and heat shield, then you can get at it. From underneath.....sorry.
Remove auxillary belt. Steering pump removal first. 3 Allen bolts, hydraulic pipes long enough to move out of the way. Remove 2 bolts at drive end, just loosen 2 bolts at rear as they are a compression fit. Disconnect Battery and wires at alternator. Move alternator to the left and it will come out. Hardest job is removing the heat shield.
Access to the alternator is much easier if you remove the passenger side mud shield. To do that, lift the front of the vehicle, put it on jack stands or some other secure and stable blocking. Remove the passenger side front wheel, then examine the mud shield and find the pins that hold it in place. Carefully remove the pins and work the mud shield out of the fender area. With the mud shield removed you should be able to see the alternator and get to the other components at the head end of the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery! If you work on the alternator with the battery connected, bad things will happen! Release the serpentine belt tensioner. Remove the bolts holding the alternator. Carefully disconnect the electrical connections to the alternator and note which wire goes to which terminal on the alternator. When replacing the alternator, just do everything in reverse order.

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Jack the car up and place it securely on stands. Remove the splash shield from under the alternator. Unplug the electrical connectors from the rear of the alternator and remove the wire harness retaining bracket. Remove the drive belt by loosening the adjuster. Remove the remaining bolts and separate the alternator from the engine.
Raise the hood and look for the drive belt. The drive belt powers the alternator.
The drive belt on the alternator of a 94 Toyota Corolla won't turn if the bearing has seized. The alternator will need to be replaced.
A drive belt will go around the pulley on the alternator . If you have a serpentine belt it will drive all the accessories attached to the engine . Alternator , power steering pump , air conditioning compressor etc .
on yours, you will have to remove the bottom shield and work from the bottom of truck.Remove wires from alternator,remove pivotalbolts and remove alternator and replace and tighten belt back.
