i have had the tensioner on both a 94 and 95... you can get the alternator off without loosening the bolt.....but you can't get it on..
on my 104's... the big center bolt is an allen head....loosen it good... and then loosen the 13mm protruding bolt just enough to get the belt off....

i just did the alternator on my cab.... twice.... first one was bad....

i tried to do the first one without loosening the tensioner and this is what learned
