:mike:hi what tool do i need for the tension belt as u said it could snap back with alot of force..

I Cannot get a Wrench at all onto the.........

Okay Man I See based on those pics that you are not just talk (Which is usually what people are online Digital Tough Guys LOL)

So i Cannot get a Wrench Box,Closed,Open socket to Get onto any of the Nut/Bolts on the Alternator....Hell i even ran to harbor freight bought a 8pc set of off set metric box wrenches.
I cannot get a Wrench to Grip any of the nut/bolts on the Alternator or even the Pully Tensioner nut/bolt. I removed the Fan moved the PS resevoir as much as i could I would like to H*** those Engineers who pack everything engine bays the way have.

use a socket, I think its 14mm, or it could be 17mm.
use a breaker bar.
and push towards the FIREWALL or the windshield

are the nuts bolts stripped?
