hello, i am replacing the drive belt and using diagram #G00010627 from your web site (without the air conditioner pully) but I can't seem to figure out how to get the belt under the auto-tensioner, and have been trying very hard in the cold rain to figure this out, I feel it's something very minor i've overlooked. thanks for any help.

Make sure the belt is properly mounted on the pulleys. Make sure the tensioner is fully released.
