Quick question...how to use the belt tensioner
So I'm trying to take my alternator off
and I read you obviously have to loosen the belt with the belt tensioner
How do you do it?
I took a 13mm socket and turned it counter clockwise and the bolt just came out.
Then I put it back in and tried tightening it and it just kinda spins...
I guess I dont understand the system.

You turn the bolt clockwise to relieve tension on the belt.If it is spinning you either don't have the bolt in properly or you nessed up the tensioner. http://shbox.com/1/accy_brkt.jpg

Well lets make it simple:
-13mm sokets with a ratchet on the tensionner bolt.
-Turn clockwise and the tensionner should should come down.
-With the tensionner down you should have more than enough slack in the belt to take it off.
There i nothing more to say

Ok i got it
$26, not bad
So
Now what do I do to ensure that I dont screw this one up.
Right now the old tensioner is on there...tensioning...
Its stripped
Whats the best method of putting this one on.
I still need the belt untenioned for the alternator too
