It depends on which machine you are using. On my machine it is easy. I have a Teac A-4010S. I just got it yesterday, but I put the full reel on the left, and the empty reel on the right. I let the tape hang down loosely below the heads and pulleys and such. then i use my index finger to thread the tape from left to right, first Under the tension arm, then over the auto reverse foil sensor arm, then under the heads, then between the capstan and pinch roller, then under the auto shut off lever. that's it
