ok, here goes:
there's the pivot bolt on the top of the alternator holding it onto the bracket.
the adjuster system is under the alternator. there's 2 bolts on the front when looking head on at it. the right is the adjuster bolt, the left is the adjuster bracket bolt that stabilizes the adjuster bolt. on the right side of the adjuster bolt, you'll see a lock nut.
disconnect harness and ground wire.
loosen the pivot bolt up top.
remove the locknut from the lower right side of the adjuster. loosen the adjuster fully and remove the bolt.
remove the adjuster stabilizer plate by removing the bolt to the left of the adjuster bolt.
fully remove the pivot bolt and rotate the alternator downward to remove the alternator belt.
rotate alternator top towards you to pull the alternator away from the top of the bracket at the pivot point.
slide alternator to the right to clear the guide pin from adjustment arm and the alternator should be free in your hands.
there's an adjustment rail on the bottom of the bracket where the pin the locknut is guided by... the pin doesnt need to be removed, but you have to rotate the top of the alternator out of the pivot point first so you can slide the alternator to the right to get the pin to clear the adjustment rail for complete removal.
NICE!..good Explanation!
