Bought a new belt watched video, but doesen't work as video,

My washing machine is a hot point Aquarius and there is no large panel on back that I can remove? Took the small panel off near bottom revealing motor and took top off ,but when I put the new belt on the motor and tried fitting onto big drum wheel slowly turning it, it just flips off as I'm turning big wheel on drum ,doesen't seem to have any play in the belt to force it on .washer Number on front is WML560. Thanks.

    Old engineers trick is to tie the belt on to the pulley at one point, pop over the motor spindle and then rotate the pulley to pull the belt on. Once fitted cut the tie.
