Nice job really.

Top and side off.
Fan cowl off & front fan off.
Tension pulley off.
Tease belt over front of drum and over motor shaft.
Put belt in place. Fit tension pulley last. This can be tricky but do-able.

Actually its even easier than that. I read it as a condenser, yours is a vented, sorry.

You will need something to help you stretch the belt over the motor shaft.
I use an 4 inch extension from a 1/2 inch socket set.

ive since found something even better, the round cross sections often cause the belts to stick too much, so now use an L-cross section runner support from an old b/u d/o and hook that over the motor, it also has the ability to flex slightly, so your not stressing the motor pinion quite so much
