Best to get a haynes manual, if you don't want to buy one, your local library may have one (avoid the one on child birth, or in car nookie)
Basically your alternator will probably be on a bracket, you can loosen the nut and bolt that hold's it to the engine, pull the alternator to tighten it against the belt and then tighten the nut and bolt to hold it in place.
Course I'm not a mechanic so don't blame me if things go horribly wrong
Check your service intervals too, maybe it's time for your cambelt to be changed, or maybe it's gonna be soon, if so, get that done at a garage and get them to check all your belts.
