as a note of caution, be sure to disconnect the battery before you ---- with it. i learned the hard way and grounded it out and fucked up my ignition. i used a long pry bar in between the block and the alternator and pushed on it to get the right tension. loosen the 12mm bolt on the top of the alternator that's connected to this bar that has a curved slot in it and push it back, if it doesn't go you will have to loosen the lower alternator bolt and i believe it's either 14mm or a 17mm.

 

thanks all. and the A/C has long been discarded.

 

get a bar of soap and run it on the belt while the motor is on
