Don't try to put the belt in by taking the pulley apart. The pulley should only 
be taken apart to adjust the belt tension. It's virtually impossible to put the 
pulley back together with the belt in there. You are VERY likely to damage the 
pulley by forcing it together with the belt in there.

To replace the belt, remove the generator hold down strap and tilt the 
generator while you gently pry the belt into place in the pulley. Of course you 
have to fit it in the fan groove first.
