My powerstearing pump brakets all fucked up, so i've only got one bolt holding that tight. Its on the top, more toward the back than the frount, you have to get to it with a (12mm) wrench (not socket) because its behind the pully. I think there is normally another bolt on the bottom more toward the frount, but I dont know

The alt has a set bolt on the top, theres a bracket with a groove (kinda moon shaped) that the (12mm) bolt can slide in. Loosen that bolt and then you can tighten/loosen. There is a tensioner (14mm) bolt to do that with on the bottom side. You can reach around the alt from the back and feel it on the bottom of the alt. If you cant feel it, it can be seen from under the car.

Hope that helps a bit...
