fix loose van belt?

how do i tighten loose fan belt on a 1999 ford escort 1.8 diesel van

Easy one - from underneath slacken the alternator bolts and usually the adjustment is on an elongated curved bracket. You slacken the smaller 13mm bolt and then turn the larger nut which winds the alternator back on a rack mechanism. (this is for the Endura diesel one, anyway.
