The alternator is driven by the drive belt. Find the belt and follow the routing and you will find the alternator.
The routing diagram for a Craftsman GT 5000 ground drive belt shows how the best must be wrapped around each pulley. It can typically be found on the underside of the housing or within the repair manual.
To change the drive belt.: 1. There should be a routing diagram in the engine compartment, if there is not one make note of the proper routing so you can put the new belt on correctly. 2. Release the tensioner and remove the old belt. 3. Put the replacement belt in place, then release the tensioner and put the belt over the idler pulley and loosen the tensioner.
If the old belt is still installed, make a quick sketch of the pulleys and the belt routing. Some vehicles have a routing diagram sticker under the hood. Some belt sleeves (such as the GoodYear Gatorback) come with diagrams of the engines that particular belt fits. They aren't always perfect, but will get you close enough that you can figure it out. -J-Ri

When routing a new serpentine belt, make note of how the old belt was routed. Take a picture of the belt routing if possible. Also most cars have a sticker under the hood with the routing on it.
