If you haven't done it already...there should be two bolts, one on the lower left and one on the upper right side. You only loosen these bolts so you can pivot the alternator, then slip the belt on. There is another screw to loosen or tighten the belt, also on the right side I believe. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

FWIW I would strongly recommend jacking up the car. The alternator is located behind the engine, and the bolt that tightens or loosens the belt is a major PITA to reach from above; it's MUCH easier to reach from below.
