Having spent four days on my own, trying to fit the serpentine belt, with the help of two neighbors it is now fitted.
Next time I would make a 50 mm diameter hole in the inner wing opposite the tensioner pulley, so that a 24mm socket can be used to pull the pulley towards the front of the vehicle, while someone under the vehicle, finally slides the belt over the idler pulley ( ungrooved )
This way the person pulling on the spanner/socket and the tensioner pulley is not getting in the way of the person trying to get the belt in place.
The hole in the inner wing can be filled with a plastic plug.
