passenger side, rear of motor there is a 12mm adjustment bolt on the alternator (top side)
Remove from alternator, not from the block. Directly underneath the alternator there will be a lock bolt (not sure size, either 14 or 15mm).
Remove completely, push alternator toward motor to loosen the belt, pull directly upwards to avoid shock tower. Flip sideways to remove wires.
Make sure to remove negative battery terminal. For easy access to bottom of alternator, jack passenger side as high as possible and be sure to use jack stands so the vehicle does not kill you. If it's not rusted, it should only take about 1/2 hour to remove and replace. should have lots of room in an ES.
