Loosen the alternator and take off the tension pulley. It will be a little tough to get the pully on but it is an easier then trying to fight the belt. The tension pully is spring loaded so it is a little more adjustable.
Hope that helps
In the V6, you will have a tensioner indicated in the diagram under the hood. Route the belt as indicated (if you have no sticker, go to Autozone and ask them to print a diagram for you). Then insert either a 1/2" breaker bar or a 1/2" drive socket into the tensioner's arm (square hole) to move the tensioner pulley into a position where you can slip the belt under it. (it's gonna be tight!) I found that I had to use a socket to rotate the crankshaft in order to get the belt all the way on due to the metallic knuckle that sits close to the crank pulley. The ribs make it nearly impossible to slide the belt all the way under that piece.
The rear belt is pretty much the same with fewer pulleys to deal with, but the diagram should clue you in to that.
- Loosen the tensioner pulley to remove the old belt.
- Route the new belt around the pulleys according to the diagram under the hood.
- Use a wrench on the tensioner pulley to reapply tension to the belt.
- Double-check the belt is properly aligned on all pulleys before starting the engine.
im assuming you have the diagram on the hood. Run the belt in the proper sequence. you will leave getting it under the tensioner for last. take the top bolt out of the alternator and just loosen the bottom one. alternator will pivot just a little,but you need all you can get with these cars. now force the tensioner up with a bar and slide the belt under it. secure alternator and your done. i like to put a wrench on crank pully and rotate engine by hand just to check belt alignment.

How do you replace an idler on a Mercury Topaz?
To replace an idler pulley on a Mercury Topaz, start by locating the idler pulley on the serpentine belt system. Use a wrench to release tension on the belt, then remove the belt from the idler pulley. Next, use a socket and ratchet to remove the mounting bolt that secures the idler pulley in place. Install the new idler pulley by reversing the removal steps, making sure the belt is properly reinstalled and tensioned.
What is a good way of drawing the solar system and can you put the planets in order from the sun out?
A good way to draw the solar system is to start with the sun in the center, then draw the planets in order from closest to farthest away: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. You can add the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and include the dwarf planet Pluto beyond Neptune for more accuracy.

Most substances will react with some acid or another. Even glass will be dissolved by hydroflouric acid and even gold will dissolve in aqua regia. As for regular acids, I have put a sample of topaz in a hydrochloric acid solution and after three weeks, it was unchanged.
