There should be a routing diagram under your hood. be careful, not all accessories turn the same way. you will need a helper. On grooved pulleys, ribs go down, on smooth, they run on the backside. Slip belt on bottom to top following diagram as far as it will go. Use the center bolt on idler pulley to move it. Just find a socket that fits that bolthead and a wrench with a nice long handle, if it moves to the right act like you are tightening bolt and pulley will move since bolt can only go so tight, at the same time your helper can guide belt over the last accessory at the top of engine-probably alternator. If idler moves the other way against spring, same thing- just use a pry bar instead.
