Drive belt on Zanussi TD265 tumble drier has snapped. How is a new belt fitted?

Thanks John, I was having the same problem your answer helped me out big time..

Many thanks

the motor hinges at the top right and swings upward to the left(very tight as is spring loaded) when lifted the tension wheel black swings up.
the belt from the left goes under the tension wheel and over the drive shaft of the motor. the spring pulls everything down tensioning the belt.
hope this helps.
watch your fingers putting the belt on

I've done this today, but now cannot tighten/tension the cursed thing!

Take off top by removing screws; take off bottom (needed to break off plastic feet with a screwdriver) by removing small bolt-headed screws; removing two more bolt-headed screws, top and bottom allows casing to split in 2 halves at the sides, allowing you to slide on the new belt at the front. Simply put everything back together- and then please tell me how to tension it!
