The tensioner for the drive belt is on the side of the PAS mounting bracket BUT I wouldn't advise slackening the 7mm allen key in the middle of the tensioner and adjusting it with a 22mm spanner. This is due to the teeth normally rounding off on the mounting plate, in effect, leaving you with a loose drive belt. Remove the alternator, remove drive belt, fit new drive belt the force alternator back in place. Always works for me 8)

Yep - hanging off the alternator with one hand while doing the relevant nuts up worked for me too :P lol

For me, tightening the aux belt is a piece of piss, but I know people have ruonded theres off. If you do use the tensioner, remember to tighten the pulley you will need to turn the adjuster anti-clockwise until it's tight then secure with allen key/bit.
