belt install

do you guys know how i can get the smaller belt back onto the radiator, waterpump, air pump, and crank pullys? I got the bigger one on by opening the idle tension er, but the other belt has nothing like that.

That belt might be tensioned by the alternator (can't remember for sure). If so, just loosen the bolt and swing the alternator in, then put the belt on and use the alternator to adjust the tension.

Thank you, you were right. I didnt think that you could use an accessory to tension a belt, but i guess so, thanks!
