First, lift your vehicle and remove the wheel on the right side. You will also need to extract the inner protective part of the wheel arch.

After this, you will have enough space to work on this part of the vehicle located under the engine on its left side. You can now pull the alternator into the resting position to loosen the tension on the belt and remove it without issues.
