Default mk5 xr3i alternator trouble

Sorry if this sounds a wee bit stupid but its my first ford... I need help fitting an alternator belt. The cars a mk5 xr3i 1.8 130. I need the route and where the tensioner is. Pics would help loads.

PAS - power steering pump
WP - water pump
G - guide
GEN - alternator
T - tensioner
CS - crankshaft
AC - air con pump

Tensioner should be a 15mm socket/spanner and is spring loaded
turn it clockwise if i remember untill you can slip the belt off then slowly let tensoin off. To refit just turn clockwise again untill you can slip the belt back on.
Easy peasy

Just ignore the AC bit of the diagram then mate and the belt will go from GEN across to CS instead.
