you have to remove the power steering pump belt first. Then loosen the bolt on the alt and slide it all the way over towards the center of the car. Slide the alt belt over the fan and hopefully you can get it on. If you don't have enough slack try taking the bolt all the way out of the alt and push the alt all the way until it hits the valve cover and slide the belt on.

I have another question about the belt, how tight should it be? Last time I think the person who did the belt did it too loose so it snaped.
