Remove the air filter and air meter to get some space.
Slacken off the 13mm nut on the adjuster at the steering pump end and lightly try to turn the big 17mm (19mm?) bolt to see if the pump will move in and out.
If it will, move the pump fully in, slip on the new belt, wind the pump out again untill the middle of the belt between crank pulley and pump pulley will deflect about 10mm under finger pressure. Tighten the 13mm nut again.
If the pump won't move, slacken the two mounting bolts underneath the pump slightly, and the nut on the inner end of the adjuster arm, then as above, and tighten all nuts and bolts.
