Belt replacement for 1990 7.3

One of my belts went out on my 7.3 so I decided that I should replace them all. When I got the a/c belt off I couldn't get it around the fan. Is there something else I need to do? Or do I just have to take the game off to do all 4 belts.

Just work it around the blades. Put the belt over 1-2 blades first, then rotate the fan and slip the belt the other way and over the others.

I was wondering this as well, I have all new belts but haven't put them on yet. I assumed I would have to remove the fan. Is the proper procedure to just work them around the fan blades to get them on and off?
