If the belt is riding on the outside of the pulley then the Alternator isn't on perfectly straight or atleast straight enough to keep the belt on... My Spirit did that and it split the belt and I had to get a new belt, and it was cause the garage didnt space the pulley that's on the alternator like it should have been... I don't have an impact wrench or else I would of done it myself and done it right.

What is an alternator belt tensioner and does it lock up?
To the best of my knowledge an alternator belt tensioner is just a fancy way to refer to the pulley that the alternator belt goes around yes they do lock up if your having that problem you've probably already shredded your alternator belt and youll need to purchase a new belt and a new pulley now depending on what kind of vehicle you have you may have to rent a special tool from the auto parts store to remove and or install your pulley which if im not mistaken you will want to ask for a pulley tensioner remover i hope i helped some!
I have a 2006 ford five hundred and am having a problem getting the belt tight enough I have the belt on all wheels alternator and belt tensioner properly but I cannot move the belt tension?
This vehcile uses a serpentine belt. The belt tension is set automatically by the tensioner. If the tensioner is stuck and will not apply tension to the belt then it is defective and needs replacing.
Why is your alternator belt continuing to break and snap on your 97 Mazda Protege?
I am having the same problem with a 99 Protege. I have changed the alternator and aligned/cleaned the pulleys and the problem persists.I replaced the alternator, on my 1997 Mazda Protege, seven times before someone figured out why the serpentine belt kept breaking. It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!
You just changed the alternator on a 90 LSC you are having trouble getting the belt tensioner back on Is there a trick?
im going on the assumption that you are referring to the belt back on the tensioner cause there is no reason to remove the tensioner to install an alt. if it is a matter of putting the belt on, make sure that the belt is routed correctly through the pulleys. then remove the belt off the alternator, put the belt on the tensioner THEN pull the tensioner back with a wrench on the tensoiner adjusting nut. slip the belt on the alternator and slowly release the wrench. i hope this was helpful

It is part of the alternator. If you are having problems keeping a charge or problem with high voltage, you might want to consider replacing your entire alternator.
How do you change the alternator belt on a 1998 Dodge Neon?
First you back off the stud at the top of the alternator, than at the back of the alternator there is an adjuster tensioner bolt has to be loosened, then you need to loosen the power steering pump (3 bolts), then remove power steering belt, then remove alternator belt, then to install new belt do the same except in reverse order.... (found out the hard way.)
How do I replace the belt on a 88 Olds Delta 88?
Your car should have the serpentine bent (One belt drives everything). If so you need to find the belt tensioner, it is a quarter inch drive (use your 1/4 ratchet) stick the the square part of the driver into the square hole on the tensioner, then simply lift up on the tentioner, this in turn will loosen the belt, and you can then take off the old belt. Putting on the new belt is basically reverse of that, the easiest I found was having it looped around everything the right way, except the alternator, lift on the tensioner to get the belt to come around the alternator, after it is aligned lower the tensioner so the belt is tight.
