Have got the old belt off any a lot of time and effort...now getting the new one on...not proving easy!!! any suggestions??? or cunning tips?

Hi, no easy way im affraid. you will have to struggle with it. it can make life easy by putting the belt on the lower pulley first (crankshaft). most of this is done from under the wheel arch. remove the shit shield by r/h wheel, 2 ten mm bolt and 4 clips. you can than see what is going on.
