   Hi just going to change my alternator belt on my mk1 1.1 saxo. This is the first time and the haynes manual doesnt make sense to me as i learn best through diagrams. How would i go about removig it and replaceing with a new one? From what i gather their is a tention bolt on the alt that when loosened will loosen the tention on the belt but i might be wrong.
   
   Thanks

   Undo the tension bolt, pull the belt off, fit the new one and do up the tension bolt again, obviously making sure there is tension in the belt
