Look at the face of the alternator. Below it is a round thing that looks like a dial. Loosen that nut - 15mm...
To the right of the alternator - or if you are standing in front of the car -- in front of the alternator, below it -- is a nut on a threaded rod -- 1/2" socket AND a universal adapter because of the extreme angle of this nut.... This is what pushes the alternator up or down.
CCW allows pushing the alternator down ( loosen the belt ) -- and
CW brings the alternator back up ( tighten belt )
