It's actually pretty neat to see it done, although it's a lot of work. They first lay the new tracks out in front of the vehicle. Next, they "break" the track by removing a bolt from one of the links. They then pull the track at the front of the vehicle down to the ground, and bolt the new track to the old. They drive forward until all the roadwheels are on the new track. They unbolt the old track, then drive forward a little more until the new track is all the way around. Finally, they bolt the track together and turn in the old one.

Why a wide steel belt is provided over the wheels of an army tank?
since p=thrust/area,if a wide steel belt(more area) is provided ,it reduces the pressure exerted by the tank on the ground.so,it prevents the tank from sinking into the ground. You may mean the actual tracks. They are engineered of many steel links, often rubber covered to enable the tank to run on many surfaces.
