Help Replacing Hotpoint AQC9BF7E1 Tumble Dryer Belt and pulley Help, advice and problem solutions on all aspects of home appliances from washing machines to TV's

[djc165]

Hi, I have a Hotpoint AQC9BF7E1 and need to replace the belt and pulley wheel. I can do everything except getting the belt to stretch over the pulley wheel and motor spindle! Can anyone please help with tips on how to do this? It seems that the belt is not long enough although it is the correct model/make number etc!
