I'm changing out a bad alternator on a 2004 mustang ,where is the belt tensioner locateed?

usually right under the alternator sometimes the alternator is the belt tensioner, if so then just loosen the alternator bolts and in should move inwards a little allowing you to get the belt off, if thats the case then make sure you have a pry bar of some sort to adjust the new alternator so the belt will be tight
