To loosen the belt on a 1994 Mercury Tracer's alternator, first, locate the alternator and find the adjustment bolt, which is typically on the alternator bracket. Loosen this bolt slightly, then locate the tensioner or the pivot bolt that secures the alternator in place. By adjusting or loosening this pivot bolt, you can move the alternator away from the engine to relieve tension on the belt, allowing you to remove it easily. Remember to ensure the belt is properly reinstalled and tensioned after any maintenance.
