There is a spring loaded pulley near the top left side of the engine to the right of the alternator. If you take a ratchet or breaker bar and put it on the nut on the pulley and rotate it counter-clockwise, you will swing the arm and release the belt tension.

Open up your Corolla hood. Locate the belt tensioner on the passenger side of the engine.

im going on the assumption that you are referring to the belt back on the tensioner cause there is no reason to remove the tensioner to install an alt. if it is a matter of putting the belt on, make sure that the belt is routed correctly through the pulleys. then remove the belt off the alternator, put the belt on the tensioner THEN pull the tensioner back with a wrench on the tensoiner adjusting nut. slip the belt on the alternator and slowly release the wrench. i hope this was helpful

The alternator is sitting on a guide. It is held on it by a bolt. All you have to do is loosen that bolt and the belt pressure sould realese. Look around for a wheel that is touching the belt but appears to have no other purpose...this is the tensioner. Use a long handled wrench on the nut in the middle of the tensioner. there should be a diagram under the hood, in front of the radiator, that will show belt routing and show where the tensioner is...
