How do I get the belt on to the tension pulley wheel on my IDC85S .

I purchased a new belt from you for the above mentioned condenser dryer but I cannot get it on to the pulley wheel it looks like it's far too small. I have checked if it is the correct belt on your list and it is, so I think I must be doing something wrong. I have watched lots of your help videos but you don't have one for my particular model, most of the other models seem to have a spring tension which has to be disconnected in order to get the belt in the correct position but mine has no spring. Please could you give me some advice as to how I can do this.

    This belt is a stretch belt and has to be stretched around the the tension pulley. This is very hard to stretch try passing over the spindle and leading on to the pulley then carefully turn the drum to pull it on and over the pulley.
