I haven't had to replace my alternator (yet) so I can't say for sure what the best method is. I know a lot of people recommend unbolting the power steering pump for easier access from the top. IIRC the tensioner pulley bolt is 14mm. However, I recently replaced the belt tensioner assembly on a friend's Saturn SL and a 15mm worked (albeit loosely) on it.
Thanks for the quick response, I thought that might be the easiest way to get the belt off.
