I need help changing the belt on rover214 sli alternator maybe a picture to help its the pully underthe altern

there are two belts i need to take off the lower belt first to get the alternator belt on which bolts do i need to slacken off please help me im a novice|||before you start removing engine mounts, try this :- jack up the car and support it with axle stands or similar remove the wheel nearest the belts, then looking in towards the engine you should be able to see the power steering belt tensioner (to the left and slightly above the bottom pulley wheel) if i remember correctly the you loosen the nut in the centre of the tensioner and then adjust it with a bolt that is bolted through the tensioner from left to right, when the bolt is turned the tensioner will move to either to tighten the belt or loosen it, again i cannot remember for sure but i think it%26#039;s clockwise for loosen and anticlockwise to tighten (if it%26#039;s not then it%26#039;s the other way round) once the tensioner is loosened the belt can be removed|||if the other belt is the power steering belt the engine needs to be lowered to gain access to the nut in the centre of the tensioner as it is to close to the bodywork to get a tool on.


Once loosened deadjust the belt tension with a 10mm spanner at the rear of the tensioner and remove belt
