no tensioner just loosen the top bolt holding the alternator in place and
push the alternator downwards away from the motor this will put enough
slack in the belt.. There is a compartment you can reach by unscrewing a
black plastic access panel in the passenger side wheel well.. pull out this
plastic piece and you will be able to reach your hand up in and remove the
belt.
But I were right had to move that silver piece in the corner but it’s out
new one in should I drive my car for awhile since battery been dead for two
weeks ?
Alternators can die depends on where you live and how much load you put on
them these hitachi units are very stout you can do a test by using
voltmeter on the battery test the voltage with the car off and do a test
with it on the results off should range from 11-12.5 and on it should read
12-13.5 volts ,and thank the Mazda is turning out to be a very good car.
