Default alternator replacement

97 E320

My alternator is going out and I'm trying to figure out the replacement.
It's a Valeo unit 010 154 5x 02 - can't read the 'x' number.

Looking online at some of the MB parts houses I see some that specify valeo units and others that say "all engines".

Anyone tell me what alternator I need?

Okay, called a couple parts places and looks like it's the bosch AL0161V...
Now, anyone know how to get the serpentine belt off/on? I can't get a wrench on the tensioner and I'm afraid it will just loosen the nut on it anyway.

Okay, I got the belt off. 15mm offset wrench moved the tensioner (move clockwise to loosen the belt) and it came right off.
Looks like I'm all set
