there will be an idling pulley (i think thats what its called)
its about 2-3 inches wide, when you turn it (with a wrench on the bolt) it will slide, loosing the tension on the belt, then you take off the belt, put you new alternator back on, and repeat the process, only in reverse.

its much easier than it sounds...trust me
