How do i tighten the alternator (serpentine) belt?
I have a 98 accord LX and somehow the bolt that holds the alternator came half way out and i cannot align the other side so i can put the bolt in. How do i loosen the belt so i can put the bolt in?

Number 6, the upper mounting alternator bolt it comes out in between the power steering belt, i see in a manual i just found that there is an adjusting bolt but i tried to loosen it and nothing happened.
Any thoughts on how i can put that bolt back in?

you need to loosen up the 12 mm nut ( # 10 ) in the picture, also loosen up the 14 mm bolt ( # 6 ) then back off 10mm bolt ( # 5 )
once belt is loose,( or slip the belt off ) it will make it easier to move the alt around and do whatever you need to do

It worked, after i loosened the nut, #10, the belt loosened and i was able to screw in the bolt completely and re-tighten the belt. Now it does not squeal when i start it up or have the a/c on. Thank you all very much for your quick replies.
