How much dismantling is required to be able to slip in a new drive belt over drum and pulley (step-by-step,please) on mu Hotpoint Aquarius TL61 vented Dryer?

I found that I also had to loosen off the backplate for the dryer in order to get enough movement on the drum to be able to get the new belt in.

Not sure if same but have a TL43 and changed as follows:
remove top and one side casing only
support weight of drum from underneath
carefully slip drum out of door seal
slide belt over drum
replace drum into front door seal
remove drum supports
fit belt over motor shaft and around tension pulleys
reassemble machine casings
