Adjusting the fan belt

[Peter53]

I've undone the top and bottom bolt on the alternator but I still can't adjust the fan belt. Any ideas how to adjust it?

Thanks for any help.

You have 2 bolts and one nut; the one on the top, which should you should do just a bit to release the alternator, one on the bottom, which is the one to adjust the tension, and the nut hidden on the side, which you must undo a bit so you can adjust the tension:

Take a look at the following picture:
