2 17mm bolts to loosen- one in the back, one in the front. Then the 13mm "tightening bolt/adjustment bolt".
Now my battery can get a good charge on.
Thanks for the help and support.
I am in the middle of replacing a water pump. The pump was the EASY part. Adjusting the (*@&#(*#@(*&^@# belts is a PITA!

How the hell did you get a ratchet in there? I have tried both bolts and cant get a grip. The "front" bolt head is blocked by the adjuster bolt.

Guess I am off to obtain a 17mm wrench.
