How to do you fit this belt??

I am trying to fit this belt to a hotpoint aqaurius extra. I am unable to wrap it round the pulley and the motor as the same time as it is so tight. The motor is at the bottom of the drum and doesnt move. Can you give me any tips on how to fit???

  • I'm sure you have managed by now. But you take the top off the washer put the belt round the motor pulley hold the belt against the drum pulley and then rotate the drum a bit like putting your bike chain back on. Watch your fingers! By Anonymous - cumbria - 18 March 2010
  • Place belt round motor first, get another pair of hands to help and slowly feed it round the large pulley. It will be tight but with patience you will get there. By umike89 - coventry - 21 January 2010
