First you need to take off the other belt. Turn the tentioner (2), usually a 3/8 ratchet, and remove the belt.
Second, you need to loosen the alt tension bolt, almost straight down from the (1). Push alternator toword motor and remove belt. Installation is the opposite.
Hope that helps

No diagram...
The pivot bolt is the long bolt that holds the alternator to the frame.
If you loosen it, the alternator can "swing" with the pivot bolt as its .... well, pivot, or swing center.
The long bolt must be removed completely in order to remove the alternator.
Be sure to doisconnect the negative cable from your battery.
Hope this hleps w/o a diagram.

The 2000 neon the belt goes from teh alternator to the Harmonic Balance pulley only. The adjuster is on the alternator and is a 10 mm. Turn counter clockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten the belt. Here is a link to a site that has the diagrams for both the serpentine belt models and regular belt models as well as timing belt diagrams: http://www.2carpros.com/diagrams/dodge/neon/2000
