Drive Belt Tip

I just replaced the alternator on my 2010. The most difficult part of the process was getting the drive belt back on. You need three hands to get a new belt installed! I lifted the belt tensioner from the top and held the wrench in place using a block of wood. This allowed me to get the belt on most of the wheels. I used a long screwdriver wedged underneath the belt to stretch it over the last wheel. If this was already covered in another thread, my apologies. Just trying to contribute.
