repolace belt on hotpoint washer?

I am trying to replace the belt on my hot point washing machine (at least 9 years old). On-line instructions refer to removing the front panel, loosening the bolts that hold the motor in place and pushing it back, attaching the belt, and then putting motor back in place. Problem is - I can't figure out where the bolts are. There are 4 nuts at the bottom of the motor but I don't think this is what is holding the motor in place (plus they won't budge and I'm afraid of stripping them). The only other "bolt" is below the belt ring and doesn't seem detachable.
