As Carson I believe said - loosen the 3 17mm bolts and the 10mm adjuster almost all the way out then you can pivot the compressor - I actually had to use a wooden board to pry the compressor in enough to get the new belt on - it wasn't a slip-on proposition. Then reverse the adjuster to put tension on the belt and tighten the 3 17mm bolts.

Exactly what I ended up doing also.... pried the compressor just a bit with a short 2x4. Actually used my floor jack to push up the wood so I could free up both my hands to force the belt in.
