How do you replace the alternator belt on a 1989 Mazda 323 Access seems to be blocked by another pulley belt and you can't figure out how to remove it so that you can put the new alternator belt on?
[Edit]

Answer

The belt you have to first remove is the power steering pump belt. Loosen the clamp bolt, then the adjusting screw on the power steering pump until the belt is slack enough to remove from the pulleys. If you have air conditioning, you will also need to remove that belt too, by the same method on the A/C compressor. You can now loosen the clamp bolt (12 mm) from the alternator as well as the retaining bolt (14 mm) on the alternator. Once loosen, swing the alternator towards the engine block and remove the belt from the pulleys.
