1999 Ford Mondeo Manual 150,00 miles

Hi all,need some help,as I need to replace my alternator.

How do I release the tension on the belt,in order to remove the alternator?

I have jacked it up,removed the wheel and covers and the air intake from the top and the 2 bolts on the bottom of the alternator and not sure which is the tension release and don't want to start undoing the wrong one! lol

I have a mk2 mondeo 2.0i zetec engine

many thanks for any help in advance.
