, the other guys description is how it says in manual, but it doesnt mention all the a/c hoses and other stuff in the way
, its easier to unbolt the vacuum canister and get it out of the way, the second bolt for the alternator is under it behind the adjuster bolt, I am doing mine today, because i had new belts put on few months ago and they have stretched, so now I have to tighten again because its making noise, if I can assist you more, message me, hardest part is reaching the adjuster bolt with everything in the way, easiest is with a really long 10mm bent wrench, stores do sell them, not sure what area your in, but I have found these wrenches at stores around here in northern wisconsin. Please let me know if you need more help.

Brandon
