Hotpoint WMA48 belt change

Does anyone know how we can do this ourself as we are really struggling to get the belt back on we need it done as our one son is incontinent so a lot of bedding is piling up, we have tried from motor to drum and it won't reach we have the part but it seems too short any help would be gladly appreciated Neither drum nor motor seem to move enough for us to navigate the belt on and there is no lip on drum to keep the belt on while we turn motor

It needs to go round the motor first then on one side of the pulley then tie cable ties on the belt and pulley to hold it on , then spin the drum by hand to snap the ties then the belt will ride on the pulley. Or the other way is use a piece of 22mm copper pipe about 1 ft long. Then at the end cut a L shape on it so it goes over the motor shaft then pull the belt over it.

We managed it, thank you so much, we might have done it a tad differently but it's all fixed and working now
