Alternator Problems

[Newsome032]

If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated... I been sweating over my car for about two hours now, trying to figure out how to get the alternator belt on. I have a 91 mr2 na/.. the alternator belt goes behind the other belt that runs everything else, so i need to get that belt off to get the new alternator belt on. Is there a tensioner in there somewheres that im just not seeing... how do i get that other belt off to get the alternator one on?

I used to have a '92 N/A which I traded in my Tacoma 4x4 in '95. But if memory serves, there is a tensioner above the alternator. I do remember tightening up the slack from the top.

I'm not sure if 3s and 5s are the same, but the turbo has a tensioner right above the a/c idler pulley. It's reachable from the top on the passenger side.

Good luck!
