1) locate belt tensioner for the alternator and loosen it. (it may be part of the alternator like Honda does)

2) take your new belt, wrap it around the crank pulley and alternator pulley

3) tighten the belt tensioner until you believe it to be sufficently tight. (where it will not slip under load)

4) give me some reps, cause I'm a genius

they all have adjustment or tensioning points you will jsut have to loosen and take the others off and put them back on tensioning them from back to front, please buy a haynes manual soon
