I was hoping can anybody tell me how do i slacken v belt on my D4D 2.0.Its a 2007 model.Im trying to remove Altenator.The Altenator has 2 bolts on the bottom that screw into engine caseing,and there seems to be a 23mm or 24mm hex bolt near tensioner.Any help appreciated

Just an update i found how to slacken belt ,but now i cant seem to lift the altenator away .All the openings seem to small .Do i take it out from the engine bay (Top) or bottom or do i need to remove drive shaft .Ive had hardship but this beats all !!!!!

Do you have a bigger picture of your engine bay? One that's not as "zoomed in".
