Here's some better instructions on the tension adjusting of the alternator 
belt from  Peter:
> Scott/ Mark:
> Some tips when adjusting the Alternator and AC compressor.
> 
> Loosen all the pivot bolts ( 13mm and 15mm on the Alternator, 17 MM on the 
> AC compressor.
> Follow the Bentley tips on loosening the support bracketry that goes between 
> the alternator and the AC compressor (Bentley describes the order - A, B, C)
> 
> The Star Bolt is actually a 22MM,  loosen the captive 13mm about a turn, use 
> the 22mm start bolt ( the "pinion" to adjust the the alternator or 
> compressor against the "rack" the toothed plate, and retighten the 13mm bolt while 
> holding 22mm star bolt in position.
> 
> THEN tighten the pivot bolts and the other remaining ones.
> 
> Again, you will need 13, 15, 17 wrenches/sockets and a 22mm open end or box 
> wrench
