   Cant seem to figure out how to tension the belt on a 96 106
   
   its a skinnier alternator belt than the new ones that im used to and its not the normal 10mm and 13mm nuts to tension it had a quick look underneath and was confused by it all and decided it was a tomorow thing

   Try undoing the alternator slightly of the bracket and doing it that way that's what I had to on my 106 I had

   done it same as newer ones just upside down
   
   open bonnet
   
   go to alternator
   
   undo the bolt at the top 16mm spanner
   
   under the car
   
   undo 13mm at the bottom
   
   tighten 10mm tensioner at the bottom
   
   do up other two bolts ...
   
   done
