If your vehicle has an automatic belt tensioner with a serpentine belt, the belt is worn and needs to be replaced. On older models, the belt tension can be set by adjusting it at the alternator bracket. Loosen but do not remove the two bolts that hold the alternator in place (one at the bracket and one on the block) and pull the alternator to tighten the belt. Hold in position while re-tightening the bracket bolt then tighten the bolt on the block.
the belt is supposed to be tight
but, if you need to loosen for some reason , and it is staying tight, i would suggest it is the wrong belt and probably jamming in the pulley wheels
Get a manual on your car and it will help on the next repair.
The transmission would have to be removed, which is a really big job
Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth no.

If you looking behind or on the side of the power steering pump, you'll see a bolt. When you loosen the bolt, the pump will slide down and loosen the belt.

On my 97 jeep grand Cherokee, with the 5.2 liter v8, its located in the distributor, under cap & rotor.
The pulley bellow the alternator is the tensioner. Rotate it with a 15mm to loosen belt.
