I have a 1995 Continental and wanted to know how you would go about taking off the belt in order to replace the alternator?

I had a shop replace the belt for me because I had no idea how I was going to get the belt off as there is no room to even remove the belt.

I know you have to move the belt tensioner, but there really is no room. I am going to take a picture in the AM to show you guys what I mean.
